For those of us Baby Boomers who grew up post-World War II of parents who contributed to the war effort, it is almost incredible to believe that today, March 8, 2020, is the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. Yes, it was 75 years ago that the war officially ended in Europe. It would continue in Asia and the Pacific for another five months.
To give one context: V-E Day today is just one year less away than the Civil War was for the United States on the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in 1941. Wow. Plus, what’s known as the “Greatest Generation” is just about all passed and only a respective handful of veterans of WWII are alive to tell their stories today.
So, on this 75th anniversary of V-E Day here are the links to all the WWII movies that I have reviewed. A couple have comedy components, but I want to include them because of the genre. I’ve also included a link to a movie about fighting in Stalingrad in deference to the Russians who had not only to suffer under the Nazis, but their own government while fighting the Nazis.
Here are some links:
