Here's more:
It is not so much Kill Bill as Kill Adolf. Quentin Tarantino, master of cinematic violence, is about to stir up a hornets’ nest in Germany with a war film that depicts Nazi soldiers having their brains bashed out with a baseball bat wielded by a vengeful American.
The tone of the film, provisionally entitled Inglorious Bastards, is set early on by Lieutenant Raine [Brad Pitt] in a pep talk to his men. According to a leaked version of the script, the officer says: “Every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps . . . and y’all will git me one hundred Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of one hundred dead Nazis, or die trying.”
It is not just the scalping, or the carving of swastikas in foreheads, or the shooting of a German officer’s testicles, or the slow strangling scene – all shown with Tarantino’s customary love of detail – that is likely to upset the nation and its critics. It is the whole idea of turning the Second World War into a comic book adventure in which not a single German character has redeeming value.
To judge by the leaked Tarantino script, the only good German is a dead one – with the suspense concentrated on how he should die...
Wow.

UPDATE
Having read the script, Jewdar can report that while Pitt’s character Aldo Raine is actually the gentile leader of the Jewish squad
