"Many wars have been featured in film, but no other war has been the backdrop to as many movies as World War II. This makes sense, of course, given how many angles a filmmaker can take when approaching WWII: life in the trenches and life at home; the Holocaust, secret plots, and POW camps; soldier stories, Hitler Youth, and government officials; both Axis and Allied powers. World War II was global, complex, intricate, and comprised of more than a million events and individual stories. It's a goldmine for cinematic drama and tense action! Over 1,300 WWII movies have been made and released to date. Here are our picks for the best movies about World War II." - whatnerd.com
