  • Contains a disturbing scene of the rape of a young girl by two Nazi officers, as well as the attempted rape of a woman. The first is not seen, but implied, as the girl is taken to an alley way by the officers and she is later seen with blood running down her legs and badly beaten and bruised.

  • During an attack, there are several explosions that take place at the zoo. We see the aftermath, including charred and dead animals.

This scene is extremely upsetting and will especially trigger animals lovers; It may even be hard to watch.
