'Storming Juno' (2010). Very good Canadian Docu-Drama about the Canadian Army on D-Day June 1944. You can find it on the net...

'Western Approaches' (1944) the thing about this film is all the 'actors' are not actors, but actually merchant marine, Royal Navy or air force, etc.

The thing, to me, is that any and all, of them could have been my dads mates (mostly about 40-50 years old)) C. 1985. That was just how they all, without exception, really were.

I was a sailor for fun from in my late 20's. Later, when I gave up soldiering, I worked for the Torres Marine Pilots, in the Torres Strait on an Australian East Cost Prawn Trawler (89 days at sea first trip) and later on Whitsunday Sailboats. My ex wife's family were Royal Navy and my son is joining the Royal Navy...

This channel on YouTube has hours of great Royal Navy documentary film. Do subscribe...

The Longest Day in color. Only available on VHS, not on DVD (as far as I know). If someone knows where I can find it on DVD please tell me. In the middle 90's, a bunch of old vintage WWII movies where colorized, including Battleground, a sub movie, and this one. I think it was the 50th year anniversary of the end of WWII or something. Hard to find. Being in color makes them seem like entirely new movies. Cool stuff.

Anthropiod (2016) about the operation to kill leading SS man Reinhard Heydrich. Good film.

Operation Crossbow - German rockets with a touch of Sophia Loren.
Counterfeit Traitor - No combat but a spy movie set in Germany during the war. Lots of suspense.
