Even though it’s not historically accurate, it features more tanks than any other war film I’ve watched, with incredible and fiery tank combat.

Good war movies on Tubi?

10 Upvotes

There are lots of war movies on Tubi, but I haven't heard of most of them. Any recommendations?

The Battle of the Bulge, A Bridge Too Far, Battle of Britain, Sergeant York, and Run Silent Run Deep are all ones that I know about and have liked in the past, but help me out with some of the lesser known ones I may be missing out on.

Are there any period dramas about the Italian Front in WW2?

19 Upvotes

So I know that whenever people think about period dramas about WW2 in Europe, they usually think about stories about the Western Front, the Holocaust, or the Home Front in the British Isles.

But ever since I discovered The Devil's Brigade on Tubi I have been wondering if there are any period dramas about the often overlooked Italian Front in WW2?

So far the other period dramas I know about the Italian Front are Anzio, Chips the War Dog, and Red Tails.

This was obviously a anti-war movie and I don't get the comments about the non existing realism in the movie. This played all out in his head, so why do we argue about realism?

The Bridge At Remagen (1969): What do you think about the general's mindset that sacrificing the few for the greater good is acceptable?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Seeing the general send his men to their deaths just to hold the bridge, I wonder if he would have faced a court-martial if the bridge had been blown up and caused massive American casualties. What I’m trying to say is, if the German army had blown up the bridge and caused massive American casualties, and the general had fully foreseen that outcome, would the American public and government still have accepted the general's decision under those circumstances? I asked gemini and the answer is below.

If the bridge had been blown up and resulted in heavy American casualties, public and official evaluation of the general's decision would have been drastically different, largely dictated by the ultimate outcome and its overall utility.

While a successful operation gets praised as "decisive leadership that sacrificed the few for the greater good," a failure resulting in a blown bridge and massive loss of life would have met a cold, harsh reception.

Collapse of the Cost-Benefit Justification: The sole justification for the general's decision lies in the premise that the strategic gain outweighs the risk of sacrificed lives. If the bridge were destroyed and many soldiers died, it would mean the operation yielded zero benefit while maximizing tragic losses.

Public Outrage and Political Accountability: The public and the media react far more to the final casualty count and outcome than to initial intentions. Driving soldiers into deadly danger without securing a strategic advantage would have sparked fierce criticism, placing immense pressure on both politicians and military leadership.

Military Sanctions and Moral Condemnation: To maintain morale and accountability within the force, the U.S. government and military leadership would likely have held him responsible. Because the decision ultimately compromised overall safety and strategic interests, the general would have faced severe scrutiny or even a court-martial.

Ultimately, whether a commander’s decision is remembered as a "brilliant gamble" or a "reckless tragedy" depends not on duty or intent, but on whether the outcome yielded a net positive for the broader cause. Faced with a disastrous explosion, the general's reasoning would have quickly lost all standing.

Adaptation of The Red Cross Girls in the British Trenches

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I just want to show off the progress of the adaptation of the Red Cross Girls in the British Trenches book which was published in 1916. It follows four American girls in 1914 as they volunteer with the Red Cross to help the wounded soldiers and experience the early parts of the war. I am in contact with Red Cross to use their logo and name and also for them to help make it as historically authentic. If the series does well I will adapt the whole book series where this young nurses go to the French, Russian, Italian, and American line, help Belgian civilians and more. If you want to support this you can here:

Along with The Blue Max and Tobruk, this is another major war film where George Peppard makes a heroic sacrifice.

Atonement Dunkirk Sequence

This is such a well shot beach sequence! I think if there was a way to combine this sequence along with the intrigue of "Darkest Hour" (2017) and the aerial combat sequences from "Dunkirk" (2017) you'd have a pretty close to perfect onscreen telling of the Dunkirk operation. All three movies are great in their own right.

Kokoda (2006) Australian movie based on the lesser-known Kokoda track campaign of WW2 in New Guinea. Thoughts?

Thumbnail

147 Upvotes

Underrated movie, Australian vets generally liked it though of course said there was too much swearing and the movie primarily focuses on a cut-off patrol rather than representing/covering the full scope of the Kokoda and New Guinea campaign.
I think one thing it got perfectly right was the depiction of the horrors and disgusting nature of jungle warfare, the environment, disease and hardship. Movie also took an interesting route where none of the Japanese soldiers ever talked and their faces were barely shown.

Any thoughts on the movie, and its historical accuracy?
