I am wondering if any history or war buffs could recommend a movie about the french governments collaboration with the German occupying forces during WWII, particularly in regards to them checking their own citizens documents for ethnicity. If it touched on other aspects of how they were invaded and why they gave in so easily I would also like to get that clear in my head. I know the stories my best friends mother told, things her older sister and mother went through....abolutely horrendous. I don't mind if its a foreign film, subtitles are ok!

you're judging the previous by ability of the standards of the present. that is notably lots the main important mistake that one and all individuals could make while interpreting background. you may (a million) quite think of what it could have been want to be there, and (2) quite have faith you had grown up between 1900 and 1940 and absorbed each and all of the of course certainly ultimate thinking which become occurring around you. in case you're able to try this, you will start to understand background. yet while all you may say is "oh, seem, they betrayed Jews, undesirable undesirable undesirable" then it turns you off and forestalls you studying something useful from that era. And the farther back in background you bypass, the extra issues you come across that are terrible to us, yet have been known and organic and suitable to the individuals of those situations. think of of u . s . - and of the whole international - in the previous slavery become abolished. lots of great different issues nonetheless befell, and slavery become component to a number of them, so which you would be able to't enable it change you off.
