1. Based upon your knowledge of World War Two, is this film accurate regarding its portrayal of the conflict? Why or why not?

2. Why do you believe we are still so interested in the history and stories of World War Two? How do you believe the time period this film was made influenced changing perceptions of World War Two over time?
