    I think one of the absolute best wwii shows was a German miniseries/series about 4 friends before during and after the war called Generation War. I think a couple of the friends didn’t make it thru the war and it shows two of them meeting back up after it was over. Very unique perspectives and very compelling. It shows a movie doesn’t have to come from Hollywood to be great. Highly recommend it.

    My favorite WWII movie is the adaption of Kurt Vonnegut's "Mother Night". No combat in the movie but lots of psychological suffering and soul searching. Howard W. Campbell III (played by Nick Nolte) takes on a non-combat mission that is not necessarily a suicide mission but is very arguably more frightening and is dangerous.

    'Bombardment' is a film of a real incident, one that had real impact on how air attacks are carried out.
    For the fictional version of this kind of thing, try '633 Squadron' or 'Mosquito Squadron'.
    The Royal Air Force began to move toward precision strikes on targets that had strategic value. For example, attacking the heavy water production that the Nazis hoped would give them an atomic bomb.
    This was expanded to small, fast aircraft attacking headquarters buildings, Gestapo torture and record centres, prisons where many resistance members were being held, to both free those who could escape, and to kill the ones who knew too much. An ugly business.
    The attack on the Gestapo building in Copenhagen had several reasons: resistance and non-resistance people were being tortured there, the Gestapo kept their records of resisters there, it was a centre of Nazi control in Denmark, and an attack on it would be a precise attack, rather than bombing Copenhagen flat, and the Gestapo men were in the building at the chosen time of day.
    During the attack, one aircraft was hit and crashed short of the target building, causing a fire and smoke to rise blocking the view (and attracting attention to the wrong location) of several following aircraft.
    This resulted in aircraft bombing the fire, which destroyed much of a large school, and killed many children, their teachers and the nuns who ran the place. Some survived in the underground cellar shelters, but many died.
    When this old man was in the RAF, and we deployed to Tirstrup airfield in Denmark, we held a parade and donated to the relief of survivors, and laid a wreath at the memorial, which we did every time we were in Denmark. We all knew the story, and a great deal of effort has gone into avoiding such incidents since.

    A crazy thing about the war movie Narvik was that it was set to play in cinemas in Norway 25th of December 2021, but theen it got delayed due to covid, but then when it was supposed to play in the spring of 2022 it got delayed AGAIN due to the invasion of Ukraine, and then it was finally released in cinemas 25th of December 2022, a whole YEAR after its intended release date.

    Heartily agree with your choice of "The Forgotten Battle". Anyone who hasn't seen it should do so right away.
    And as user 111oooo mentions below, it was mostly Canadian troops assaulting the Germans. This battle allowed the vital port of Rotterdam to be taken.

    It is probably not on Netflix, but how can any list of excellent World War Ii movies not include “12 o’clock high?” It features excellent acting and an accurate outline of the tragedy of so many losses by the eighth Air Force during 1942 and 1943. Not only that, but it’s probably the only war movie that features some really excellent music.

    I have seen the two Dutch moves featured here and they are excellent. A remark regarding the Resistance Banker, try to see the version with the subtitles, not the dubbed one. I don't know which one Netflix features but movies in original langues with subtitles are always better in my opinion. I am looking forward to see the Norwegian and Danish movies. WWII movies have improved so much over the years.

    The Forgotten Battle - the clearing of the Scheldt, so that Allied merchant ships could dock in the huge port of Antwerp - is mentioned in the Academy Award winning documentary film The True Glory, and UA-cam has the excellent National Archives restored copy of that to view. Besides the Canadians, there were Norwegian troops involved, which is even more overlooked.

    -2: The Young Lions (1958) / Marlon Brando and Dean Martin (🪖) play a German and an American officer who fight towards each other.
    -3: Breakthrough / (1979) Richard Burton returns as German Sergeant Steiner and will fight his last battle in 1944 Normandy.
    -4: Escape to Athena (1979) / War adventure on a Greek sun-drenched island With an all star cast including Telly Savalas and Roger Moore.
    -5: Codename Emerald (1985) / War espionage story set just before D-Day. The Gestapo has captured an American who has information about the overrun operation.
