Now the negatives: as a film, it drags. It is the story of a meeting of bureaucrats; how could it not? As history, it is largely speculative. The minutes of this infamous conference, from the "one surviving copy", are barely 8 1/2 typed pages, including the list of attendees. Three of those who attended spoke on the conference after the war, when their recollections were somewhat hazy & their commentary geared towards pleasing their Allied captors. My point is there is not enough documentation available to build a movie on the subject of Wannsee. The director et al attempted to make both an entertainment and a documentary, and failed at both.

However, especially when compared to the earlier German production "Die Wannseekonferenz" (available in this country only on VHS), it is seriously defective as a historical reenactment. It starts with the silly overflight scene at the beginning and the waiter dropping the dishes at the beginning and then gets worse. Many of the characters are ridiculously overacting and become almost caricatures, especially the vulgar, pork-faced Klopfer, but also Kritzinger, who would be great playing an English aristocrat, but fails utterly at the portrayal of a faceless German bureaucrat. To add drama, the meeting seems to be interrupted constantly by food breaks, and Eichmann puts more effort into his role as catering manager than anything else. The breaks, none of which seem documented during what was a very short meeting, also give the director plenty of opportunity to add more fictional tension, bathroom discussions, and interaction between characters. There is little indication that there was as much interpersonal conflict as depicted here. The German version has some of the same weaknesses, but much milder; in "Conspiracy", they become much too distracting.

Shultz Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:17:16 +0000 http://www.alien-encounter.com/conspiracy-theories/conspiracy/#comment-18 Wow! So many wonderful reviews?! In fact. this portrayal is very mellodramatic and,, it is off all the way around. Listen, if you want a superficial and,, I can hardly get started! The only thing Authenic about this is the Uniforms and the location. Everything else is rediculous! The British accents, the overly dramatised acting- all are snide, rude and overly arrogant. The guy playing the legal rep was in fact the best actor. Most realistic. They did not even refer to each other as Gruppenfuehrer or whatever. It was General, Major etc. For every actual minute ref from the actual conference minutes, there was 200 times more ''Hollywood'' filler. <br /> <br />Hey! I know this is a movie and Hollywood folk are not doing a documentary here but, well, it is too much of a wrong thing. Even the actors! They could have found someone that has at l;east kinda similar looks and mannersims as Heydrich! The actor was pretentious snide and silly. For those with limited knowledge, it is silly. For those with decent knowledge, it is rediculous. Rating: 1 / 5 Wow! So many wonderful reviews?! In fact. this portrayal is very mellodramatic and,, it is off all the way around.

This book is an expertly written collection of the short, disturbing stories that we always hope are aired on TV. All of these stories, whether they be full on Demonic Possession or natural human dementia, really paint a vivid picture of what T.A.P.S. stands for while seemingly never ceasing to entertain. If you are an avid viewer of the Ghost Hunting TV series you will probably love this book. This text smokes the show by entailing only the best accounts TAPS has to offer.

I thought the book was extremely well written! In fact, although it arrived here during the xmas/new years holidays when things were busy....I was reading it every time I had a few minutes! I finished it quickly and wished there had been even more to the book (despite it being almost 300 pages already). The stories, and there are many of them, were short enough to keep your interest (not padded with descriptive junk to fill up pages), but the stories were also descriptive enough so that you understand the entire picture....the situation, their approach, what was found, their deductions, and outcome. Each story has a little blurb at the end, that explains a certain facet of paranormal investigations, which is really helpful. The variety of cases/stories, all authentic, cover the range of their various investigations, from authentic hauntings, to elderly ladies with dementia, a man who picks up radio signals on his hearing aid, non human spirits, residual hauntings, etc. <br /> I admire T.A.P.S. approach to their investigations, they have thought these things out, when to research, what the goal is, hot to be objective and professionalism. Only two guys who are best friends and trust each other, could work together like these guys do. I highly recommend this book and am really glad I found it and bought it. Get this book and read it!

I got if for Christmas and loved every page of it. I agree with other reviews that some of the stories could have been longer but they were all good. This was one book I couldn't put down. I also got the GH first effort and plan on starting it when I am done writing this review. It would be great to see some of the cases or the evidence described in the book to show up on the tv show. Maybe a review show where they talk about them and show the evidence. If you are interested in the paranormal at all please give this book a chance. You won't be disappointed.
