equal opportunity victimisation

Most everyone in the film is victimised by someone else. The Czech people are victimised by the Nazis, the Nazis are victimised in turn by the Underground resistance. The Resistance is victimised by Mr. Czaka, and Czaka is victimised by everybody. Most everyone is taking advantage of someone else. The Czechs are seen as more justified in their counter victimisation, though, and the Nazis more tyrannical.
