What is the last WW2 Film or Series you saw?

The Guns of Navarone.

 

Just spent the last few days watching one of my favourite mini-series - Danger UXB. Even after all these years the story lines hold up well.

 

I was watching Where Eagles Dare for the first time yesterday. Switched it off when the helicopter scene started.

 

Just watched WW2 in Colour on telly. First time I've seen some of the more common footage of the Chindits in colour. Certainly brings out the facial features of some of the soldiers. I will have to take another look soon, to see if I can pick out some of the men from Operation Longcloth.

 

Started watching it last night due to your recommendation. It looks excellent but it was too nerve-racking for me

 

You turned it off before Clint Eastwood got into high gear. Give it another shot. Second half is really good.
Helicopter wasn't that bad an anachronism. Just pretend it was a FI 282.

 

I forgot about the stupid helicopter. The rest is a pretty fun movie.

 

I haven't read the novel but apparently Alistair MacLean included the helicopter.

Also found this:

 

Not quite WW2, but definitely the lead up to it; The Inn of the Sixth Happiness.
My Nan loved this film and South Pacific, makes you wonder now whether it was her way of remembering grandad?

 

I eventually got to see Dunkirk last night. It was sort of ok except for the sound track. That really put me off. I really liked the Spitfire scene where the pilot never ran out of ammo.
They were also missing a few thousand men on the beach. I supposed they had a limited budget for extras.

 

Back watching some Russian series's this is good.
The Attackers.

 

Another good one but damned annoying finish if you watch the series you will find out.
Night Swallows.

 

Piece of Cake is on Forces TV. Book was excellent, TV series not so much as I remember

 

World War 2 Through German Eyes: France 1940

“This volume features translated Wochenschau newsreels dating from May and June 1940 and records the military events of the blitzkrieg campaign leading to the fall of France and the near disaster at Dunkirk.”

I recently watched the Russian made for TV feature 'The Dawns Here Are Quiet' on Youtube. It consists of 4 episodes and centers around a small anti-aircraft position located in a village at a vital junction. Originally crewed by men, a complaint results in the men being sent elsewhere and replaced by female crews in addition to the male originally commanding the unit.
After a German sabotage team are parachuted in to attack a target a small patrol from the AA position is sent out to locate them and see what they are up to. And the story goes on from there.

There are one or two moments that will have the purists tutting such as a strafing Ju-52 but all in all it isn't a bad watch really.
