They were not documentaries, they were American war films and yes I have seen them.

Having living through WW2, I don't think that the people these days would react the same as they did in 1939, in those days people lived in much closer knit society, these days people hardly know their next door neighbours names.
Even the governments are different, today one is expected to pay for an ID card if they were introduced, back then you got them for free the same as one's gas mask and steel Anderson shelter.
Today's people panic if their local supermarket is about to close, I don't know how they would manage with Food and Sweet rationing or the news that the ships bringing in much wanted food had been sunk in the Atlantic?

I very much doubt it, blimey there is enough trouble now that we are trying to get some of our freedom back.

Surely with all the knife crime, we'd be more prepared?

I guess you missed the part where I said I was kidding, and that includes calling those movies documentaries.

I'd argue it's probably an insult to those who lived and fought in World War II to compare their fight for freedom to Brexit.
