When is the last time the Hollywood establishment made a movie about when we win?
There is a Brit TV series Foyles War that places a Brit murder inspector in strategic places to describe the current events in ‘40-’41 a la War and Remembrance.
The program did a fantastic job with the Dunkirk withdrawal.
It’s on NetFlix and is highly recommended

Leave it to Hollywood to celebrate defeat.
I’ll be looking for that as soon as it’s pirated on YouTube with interest ;)
I’m looking forward to reading the book, “1941” about the politics of WWII. We all wonder at the situation Britain and France allowed themselves to get into, and which the US also allowed. But the reality is that nobody in the US wanted a piece of the action (polling ran 4:1 against) before Pearl Harbor. FDR was appalled at the prospect of the fall of Britain, and concomitant threat that the Royal Navy could pose to America if Hitler took it over.We think of the US as entering WWII completely unprepared, and that is sorta true - there was a severe shortage of military equipment in the US at that time. However, that shortage existed because FDR was propping up the British with as much equipment as he could - and despite the fact that he had also been ramping up the production of military equipment as fast as he could ever since the May, 1940 Fall of France.
It is well known that Britain sent RADAR and other military secrets/technology to the US. It is less well known that that occurred upon the Fall of France, not later.
