Martin Johansson's video: World War II Theatrical Retrospective

Please read the decription 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the ending of WWII. WWII was a disaster for whole of humanity. I wanted to make a short summary of the war using films about differents events during the war. I have seen many videos which show scenes from the war in chronological order, but no video that tries to retell how the war developed. Keep in mind that this is not a list about the best WWII movies. I dont really rate "Pearl Horbor for example, but the movie had some good footage about events I wanted to include in this montage, like the speech were the President ask the congress to declare war. My original idea was to show the different footage in "chronological order", but in order to make the movie "flow" a bit better I had to arrange them in different phases of the war. For example I used a clip about a German officer saying they have surrendered after a clip from the Hiroshima bombing even tho Germany surrendered before Japan, but I felt it soothed better to the music. I do not claim to be an expert, but I think I have managed to include many of the most important events during the war. I have tried to show the war from different perspectives. I have for example used 4 different movies/tv show that put the ordinary German soldier in a more sympathic light. I have used films from USA, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, Japan, China, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Estonia and Finland and used 6 different languages. I only understand the Scandinavian languages and English, so I have had faith in the subtitles, and cant varify if the translation is 100 percent correct. Here are some of the events I have included from WWII Phase 1 - The outbrake of the war Japan Invades China German invasion of Poland GB declares war on Germany Germany invades Denmark, Norway, Netherlands and France Sinking of Blucher Evacuation from Dunkirk Phase 2 - the darkest hour Battle of Britain The intelligence war The submarine war Operation Barbarossa and the German invasion of the Sovie Union Battle of Moscow Battle of Sevastopol Finnish continuation war (Finlands invasion of Russia) Battle of Stalingrad Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Phase 3 - The turn around USA declare war on Japan & Germany Allied invasion of North Africa Russia defeats Germany at Stalingrad The pacific war Allied landing on D-day Normandy Battle of Tannenberg line The resistance movement in occupied Europe (Max Manus) Battle of Okinawa Phase 4 - The the consequences of the war Italian losses at El Alamein The Eastern front The Holocaust The Estonian front, brothers against brothers Germany surrenders Japan surrenders Kings Speech, Hitler the rise of evil, Saving private ryan, the pianist, Der Untergang, Schindlers list, Letters from Iwo Jima, Flags of our fathers, El Alamein, Sevastopol, Max Manus, Unknown soldier, Hacksaw ridge, Generation war, Pearl Harbor, Indigènes, Days of glory, Stalingrad,
