Movies have been telling stories about World War II since before some history books say World War II even started. What’s more, we’ve never stopped, not for one solitary second. That’s partly because it was arguably the most important historical event in the last 100 years. It’s also because we really, really need to explain to new generations why we should never, ever let fascists rule a country ever again.
But it’s also because there are still, to this day, real stories from WWII that have not been properly told. In some cases, like this year’s “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare,” it’s because the information was only recently declassified.
