Germany invade Poland Sept 1939, France at war


What never fails to astound me is the utter lack of interest in Hitler's activities in the late 1930s movies. France fell June 22, 1940.

A rare exception is the movie "The Major and the Minor". And it is played for a punch line when the boys at the military school are trying to use the Maginot Line as a come one tactic.
And I remember being struck when I watched this movie as an adult how it must have really been seen as the line that would protect France!
