On the plus side, we have the very interesting background, and intriguing questions of what patriotism and loyalty really mean. We have a nicely developing relationship where the conflict starts out as a matter of trust and understanding (Is she just as bigoted as the other townsfolks? Is she being loyal to her family if she is kind to a non-combatant German when her brothers are fighting overseas, possibly even fighting relatives of his?) and then evolves to issues of whether it is safe to purse the relationship when a love affair between an American girl and a “Bosch” would inflame an already tense situation.
