"Midway" & "The Battle of Midway"
This is the tale of Midway, shown from both the American and Japanese side! This is a pretty cool flick and the depiction of both side is great! Now this is obviously Hollywood-ized but it has some great actors in it and I think its a pretty cool war flick at the very least. Give the trailer a go below and see what you think.

Well this is the modern version of the Hollywood-ized Midway flick and I didn't like it like I did the original. I guess its basically a Hollywood war flick but those just don't seem as cool as the older ones were. Anyway, give the trailer a once over and see what you think.
& for the real thing!
Now this is the wartime documentary filmed by John Ford himself! Its all real footage and with that jingoistic zeal we all love!
So there ya go folks, all sorts of Midway for ya to check out!

"A Hidden Life"
The Austrian Franz Jägerstätter, a conscientious objector, refuses to fight for the Nazis in World War II and his, and his family's, life is forever changed because of it. This is an absolutely fantastic film! Another epic from the genus that is Terrence Malick. Give the trailer a view and watch it however you can!

"Sara Góralnik is a a 13 year-old Polish Jew who finds refuge and is taken in by a
farmer and his wife. She soon discovers the dark secrets of her
employers' marriage, compounding the greatest secret she must strive to
protect, her true identity.
" This was a pretty good flick that shows the fear and horror of the civilians in Lithuania and the Jews that were hiding in plan sight during the war. Give the trailer a go and see what you think and swing over here to see testimonials from the real Sara Góralnik.
Pretty good flick,

Honored Allies Wednesday: Edward Fegen (United Kingdom)
"On the 5th of November, 1940, in heavy seas, Captain Fegen, in His
Majesty's Armed Merchant Cruiser Jervis Bay, was escorting thirty-eight merchantmen. Sighting a powerful German warship he at once drew clear of
the convoy, made straight for the enemy, and brought his ship between
the raider and her prey, so that they might scatter and escape. Crippled, in flames, unable to reply, for nearly an hour the Jervis Bay
held the German's fire. So she went down but of the merchantmen all but
four or five were saved."
From Capt. Fegen's Victoria Cross citation, awarded on 22 November 1940.
A true honorable ally,
