When Gretel told the Fury that she spoke French he said the following: Yes and why would you want to? What does he mean by it?

Hitler was not fond of the French: Germany was at war with them. He was not impressed that Gretel could speak French.

MEANING the theme us vs them as the nazis thought very higly about themselves and germany : they were at war with the french and they also showed that the germans and nazi were of highest status and those who are fond of other countries is wrong as they called germany the fatherland thats why they wouldnt want to speak French/p>
