You make the call: MPAA-backed raid of suspected German movie pirates or terrifying anecdote from the Nazi occupation?

At 5 a.m. the police kicked in the front door of the modest apartment house near working-class Essen. Guns drawn, they ordered the family out of bed. A few minutes later, they hauled away a 22-year-old college student as his stunned parents looked on in silence.

"This was our D-day," said Jochen Tielke, managing director of the German Anti-Piracy Federation, in an LAT article. Color us batshit, but should the Germans really be invoking World War II in the file-trading battle? And someone should really tell MPAA head Jack Valenti that he probably doesn't want to win the Iron Cross, no matter how cool it looks at the Senate hearings.
