The World War 2 Universe

World War 2 is my Roman Empire

"Women have no idea how often the men in their lives think about the Roman Empire"

Or, so the meme goes.

I watched a couple of World War 2 movies recently and fell into a bit of a rabbit hole. I assume it's my age.

• Hitler: The Rise of Evil ⭐️

While watching Dunkirk and Darkest Hour I realised both movies are about the same subject; the rescue mission to save around 300,000 soldiers from the beach at Dunkirk. In the case of Darkest Hour, Gary Oldman (as Winston Churchill) is at the centre of the story as the British government scramble to pull together a workable plan, and then put it in place.

Anyway, when I realised this, I thought, "I wonder if someone's created a list of World War 2 movies, and the chronological order in which to watch them, in the same way that people have done for Star Wars and the Marvel Universe?"

Well, they have. I found it on Reddit.

As a result, I've also watched Part 1 of Hitler: The Rise of Evil, featuring Robert Carlyle as a young Adolf. It's always odd to see actors voicing what we know are German people, with US accents.

I can't say that I recommend it.
