Viewing Notes

Seems appropriate viewing for today. Interesting document that’s partly propaganda (filmed during the war) and also historical. I suppose this was a lot more violent for the times but rather tame compared to modern war films. Still conveys the stress and often futility of the situation… storming a beach and getting picked off then getting bombs dropped with no where to hide.
