So I thought it might be useful to put up a list of the best WWII films, and, maybe, TV shows that win SP WW2 players know (especially for new, perhaps younger, players).

I'm going to try to avoid the obvious ones -others can mention them- and go for:

'The Cruel Sea' (1953) closely based on a novel written by a escort warship RN officer.

'Das Boot' (1981) go to war in a German U-Boat.

'Tora! Tora! Tora!' (1970) a film about the Pearl Harbor attack, that is really a docu-drama, and vastly better than later efforts..

'Dunkirk' (1958) the reaction of the Brits to Germany overrunning France in a few weeks. Have no idea about the new one.

'Sea of Sand' (1958) A really great 'stiff upper lip' British war film, a type I'm very fond of. About the famous Long Range Desert Group.

'Hell in the Pacific' (1968) features Lee Marvin, a good actor who actually was USMC.

'The Longest Day' (1962) The fate of civilisation, and the world, rests on a single day of battle and many thousands of average men, mostly British, American and Canadian.
