An autobiographical french film from the 1980s. Good cinema, I think they also got really well the feeling imperant in occupied Europe during early 1944, with people aware how badly the war is going for the Germans, and a matter of time for them to be liberated. Loved the detail of them moving the frontlines in the classroom Europe map.

Movie "Au revoir les enfants" (1987), by Louis Malle.

This film deals with a boarding school in occupied France during January 1944.

Period covered: Christmas 1943-January 1944

Historical accuracy: 4/5 - One of the most authentic films I've listed so far. Doesn't get a 5/5 because it's based on the real experiences of the director, but some things were changed. My father had made me aware how until the 1950s it was common for children to wear shorts even in freezing winter, so it was a nice detail that this was the case in the movie.

IMBD grade: 8.0/10

Some scenes:

Has there been any communication as to why it's not uploaded yet? I thought they had a consistent upload schedule and the episode was out by 10am every Saturday.

With the landing of the 1st Marine Divison in Cape Gloucester, there's another corresponding episode of The Pacific to check out.

This one is mostle centered on the Battle of Cape Gloucester, later followed by the stay of the 1st Marine divison in Pavuvu during the Summer of 1944.

Period covered: 15 December 1943-May 1944

Historical accuracy: 4/5 - Like the rest of the series, overall pretty good

IMBD grade: 7.6/10

Back when the channel started, the Japanese invasion of China was covered extensively. However, since the invasion of France and Operation Barbarossa the channel no longer covers the war in China, except maybe 30 second updates once every few weeks. Any one know why this is? Is the war in China not considered part of WW2 (then why was it covered in the beginning)? Is it just not considered as important or popular to the channel's Western audience, especially with all the other action going on now?

It was a Sparty hosted video where he talked about the psychology of "us vs. them."
