@Joancrawford, Darkness Descends.

Wow. I had never heard of this film. I also didn't know that the Kulak peasants were of German origin.

In the American South, too, German farmers were the most efficient, the most productive, with the best-run independent farms, and no slaves needed. They are described by Frederick Law Olmsted in The Cotton Kingdom (a very interesting read, BTW).

Proud to be German!! Yawohl!
