Every documentary I have seen are all from the "winning" side and it seems like every WWII documentary is the same.. I'm not really interested in history that has no film, no archives. I actually like to see "everyday" life in even the most catastrophic circumstances, because most of us know the horrific events.
I'd love to see documentaries from Germany, Japan, Italy and see their reasons, motives, whatever.

There's one on Hitler that has been talked about on youtube. I forgot the name. This is it: www.imdb.com/title/tt3526810/I stopped watching it after a few minutes but they mentioned Hitler was a military courier in WW 1--one of the most dangerous jobs a soldier could have. Occasionally movies are less one-sided. I was surprised by OPERATION CROSSBOW because it was so even-handed. The first part of the movie is a German version of the Right Stuff. And even when the German gestapo shows up-Anthony Quayle isn't your standard bad guy. And the other side kills civilians to keep the secret of their mission. The producer of that was Italian. Italian war movies are very interesting--for examples COMMANDOS 1968. Brilliant ending. I just can't say enough how good an ending that is. |
