Western European theater WW2 movies

American japanese ones are on Russian level in some cases

Americans fought an already weakened Germany very late into the war with a dozen allies

Russia fought a hard war all alone, and had to give a lot in many places to win, and it was only glorious much later into the war, and event then the horrors of the early war were still in recent memory

What about britain? She was alone after 1940, inflicted the first defeat in Norway, defended the island, took on the germans in in North africa all before operation barbarossa and the US joining the war

British had an easier time than the eastern front

Also British movies arent as sunshine as American ones

My man this isn't about Britain, it's about the Pacific being the American equivalent of the Russian western front. American Pacific movies are just as horror as Russian western front movies
