Movies that explain ww1 and ww2

[Belmit]

Whilst not a true story, Stanley Kubrick's 'Paths of Glory' pays great attention to detail (as was Kubrick's nature) and Winston Churchill himself said that it was an accurate representation of trench warfare and the 'sometimes misguided workings of the military mind'. More than worth a look.

As pretty much everyone else has said World at War is very good.

If you're after regular films then for WWII:

The Longest Day - based on the Normandy landings showing the view from both sides.

Tora Tora Tora - the lead up and the execution of the attack on Pearl Harbour which brought America into the war.

Battle of Midway - the turning point of the Pacific war.

i mean movies which are very accurate though.

I dont think inglorous ******** focuses on main war just side story for movie?

Inglourious ******** isn't accurate at all and Pearl Harbour doesn't tell you much really.

Wooosh!

Get the World at War box set

Do you have Sky?

My reccomendation would be to watch the Military channel, lots of interesting documentaries with a strong leniency to ww1 and ww2.

As for Africa yeh I have no idea? Maybe Germany invaded africa but why? I will soon fidn out.

The British, in Egypt, started hostilities with Italy, in Libya, when the Italians declared war. The Germans got involved because the the Italians were routed and Hitler didn't want to see Italy (and Mussolini) humiliated.
