Good movie, to watch while remembering that it's an historical lie: French railway staff was massively collaborationist, and never fought such a thing as a "rail battle". To see as an historical document about a time when it was necessary to persuade France that all French had been resistants (and, more precisely, that they had been communist resistants: a lot of techniques come from Eisenstein - and the funds came from Stalin).

Would you care to back up this statement with some proof, or do I just have to take the word of some anonymous imdb poster? Are you implying that the "Fer Réseau" didn't exist?
Another idiotic sample of vulgar Francophobia.
Why do you want to vilify French people so, you and your alikes?
BTW, what do you know about war and occupation, while living all your life in safety and comfort? You keyboard warrior!
Listen to your enemy, for God is talking
It 's not that simple..The french national railway company had, during the war, 410 000 agents . Historians guessed that some 40 000 people used to act in the "resistance", around 10%. It 's also , today, a well know fact that this company largely collaborate with the nazis, included the jewish deportation to death camps via railway transportation...
shareAt the same way one may say that the people who were forced to work at Nazi ammunition factories were collaborators (for the ammunition they produced was used against the Allied forces). Is that fair?
I don't want to tell you that in the French railroad companies were no collaborators. These were hold responsible for a treason, and condemned by the French courts after the war. But one can't smear the whole nation, as he can't be just a little racist Francophobe by himself.
