Victims of hangmen also die

Who the victim in Hangmen also die depends largely on one's perspective and the scale to which we are applying the term. In broad terms, the most obvious and clear victim are the czechs as a community. The hundreds of them that died were clearly victimized. Who then are the ones doing the victimizing, well the nazis of course because they are doing the killing right? Or are they really, the nazis as horrible as what they are doing is are to at least a certain degree having their predictability taken advantage of. In this sense we can argue that they are the victims. Additionally if we choose to micromanage the plot then the victims can more accurately be described as the novotnys who are dragged into the altercation by svoboda and circumstance. Brechts film has so many different levels that discerning the actual victim is relatively difficult.
