Prioritize:
The well-known German director Oliver Hirschbiegel has made a nice tribute to an extraordinarily brave man with a high standards of morality, who was just one step short of making a significant impact on the course of world history. A brave man is not one who fears nothing. He is the one who, in spite of his fear, is determined to act. And that is exactly the kind of man woodworker and watchmaker Johann Georg Elser was. (80%) ()
