30 Dec The Battle of Britain
The Battle of Britain, WW II documentary, part of the series “Why We Fight”
(1943) Part of the World War II documentary series, Why We Fight.
The US Government wanted to show our soldiers as well as people at home why we were at war. This film depicted the bombing of London by the Germans. Directed by Frank Capra and narrated by Walter Huston.
Although this shows what was happening in London before Hedy arrived in January of 1944, it is good background for what she found there.
Later note: I watched this film again right after watching the 1969 Battle of Britain. This one, as I said, is documentary style and focuses more on the citizens of England and how they coped.
