A while back, Boing Boing hosted a collection of grisly, horrifying British public-service ads. My favorite:
Still and all, if there's any area in which Germany could beat the Brits, I would imagine it would be in grisly, no-holds-barred public service ads. Any help, readers?
So you have to look for movies showing nazi cruels to have a chance !?

Roger, my friend, don't be a tease. You're the expert here. Can't you find it in your heart to locate some of these movies for the rest of us? Please?

Autsch.
I think it is hard to find seriously meant splatter movies from Germany. (Yes, I also know and adore Klaus, but is obviously a satire)
As you know, germans as euopeans are shocked about american violence in movies, and americans are shocked about european sex scenes in movies. So you have to look for movies showing nazi cruels to have a chance
But did you already check out "DDR Bildungsfernsehen". If I remind it right from my scool time there must be found real bizarre diamonds. Make a research for "Staatsbürgerkunde", ESP - "Einführung in die sozialistische Produktion" and PA - "Produktive Arbeit"-Movies!

Klaus is a classic, but while the voice is THE PSA voice in Germany, the movie only plays with the PSA aesthetic.
But it's a really cute splatterfest.

Staplerfahrer Klaus is classic.
