    I’ve not watched it yet, but a recent film called the Zone Of Interest sounds like it aligns to this.

    It’s about the Hoss family that lived next to one of the Nazi concentration camps, the father/husband ran the camp.

    Also, I recently watched The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas and it again aligns to that point of view a bit.

    The Boy in the Striped Pajamas[1] I should have seen it coming but it was a freight train, never did a movie hit so hard like that. War though a child's eye is worse than the adult perspective of war.
