This was another recent Danish movie I watched, harder to watch and admittedly post WWII but about the effects the war had immediately after. German POW's are clearing land mines planted in Denmark by the Nazis. Land of Mine youtu.be/zjq4Nin36fE |

Loved April 9 and Land of Mine. VERY good movies. Generation War is also very good from Germany (though it is technically a tv series). YouTube link Haven't seen this yet, but this looks pretty interesting from Japan. YouTube link |

The Winter War (Finnish: Talvisota) is a 1989 Finnish war film directed by Pekka Parikka, and based on the novel Talvisota by Antti Tuuri. It is set in the Winter War and tells the story of a Finnish infantry regiment from Southern Ostrobothnia fighting on the Karelian Isthmus, focusing mainly on a platoon of reservists from Kauhava. The film was released in Finland and Sweden on 30 November 1989, the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Winter War, and in the United States in December 1989. |

1939: The Battle of Westerplatte is very good. I understand it is somewhat controversial in Poland, in that it reexamines the battle based on previously undisclosed testimony of the garrison. To me, the graphic and honest depiction told a more heroic story than the accepted mythology. |

'La Vache et le Prisonnier' (1959) aka 'The Cow And I' A "French-Italian tragicomedy" following the exploits of a French prisoner of war who uses a cow as cover to walk from captivity in Germany back home to France. Something a bit different. |
