Insert Orson Welles clapping .gif here I was really confused by what the author was trying to say. TSOM is a family-oriented movie and, while we can all agree that the Nazis were more terrible than the movie presents, I don't think it's fair to criticize the movie for sparing children who might enjoy the musical from the atrocities of war. You're not suddenly more wise or more mature because you recognize the naiveté of the film (meaning the author, not OP). You're just pointing out the obvious decision the filmmakers made to keep the tone of their film.
