STREAMING TIPS. Five compelling war films and series to discover this weekend | Movie

‘The Last Full Measure’ tells the true story of medic William Pitsenbarger. The latter is a war hero who saved more than 60 lives during the Vietnam War. In the end, the man was also rewarded for his heroic deeds with a so-called Medal of Honor. Although this medal was previously withdrawn from him for political reasons. As a result, a battle erupted between the government and some Vietnam veterans with the aim of giving the war hero the medal he clearly deserved.

‘The Battle of the Scheldt’ takes us to the autumn of 1944. At that time, a major naval battle was taking place in Zeeland and West Brabant, which would ultimately be decisive for the course of the Second World War. In this struggle the paths of different persons cross. The film follows the story of Marinus, a young Dutch man who fights on the side of the Germans. Two other protagonists are William, a lost British glider pilot, and Teuntje, who is part of a resistance movement.

Paul Baumer, an ordinary teenage boy, joins the German army with Albert and Muller, two of his good friends. Initially, the three were determined to go to extremes for their homeland, but when confronted with the harsh reality of the trenches, their motivation disappears like snow for the son. As a result, Paul must adjust his beliefs about the enemy and the entire conflict. Though in the end he has no choice but to keep fighting to the bitter end.

In ‘A Private War’ we get to know the American war journalist Marie Colvin, who works for the ‘New York Times’, among others. Colvin, when she is fairly far from the front line, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. However, the journalist has no choice but to keep hunting for news. Even if that means that she has to risk her own life in this way.

In the historical docuseries ‘Voices of Liberation’, the writings and eyewitness accounts of war participants help tell the story of the liberation of Europe during the Second World War. These include the diary of a Parisian and a French officer, and a letter from a member of the French resistance. We also get to know Thomas Brodie-Sangster. The actor’s grandfather made his mansion available during WWII as a base for French spies.
