1942 was the year of the Nazi "Final Solution".
Yeah, there's obviously a connection to the year, but is there anything in the movie that actively provides a commentary of the events that happened during it? I guess what i'm asking is, what do you think Kubrick was trying to say by including the year in multiple places?
