In addition, I found this little gem on him from Wikipedia:

"In 1945, the Psychological Warfare Department of the United States Department of War produced an American documentary film directed by Wilder. The film known as Death Mills, or Die Todesmühlen, was intended for German audiences to educate them about the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime. For the German version, Die Todesmühlen, Hanuš Burger is credited as the writer and director, while Wilder supervised the editing. Wilder is credited with the English-language version."

Billy is just one of the many people you have to thank for your "education" in this area. Thanks Billy!

The major German goal was expansion into the east. You don't seriously think that happened without mass murder do you?
