Amazing character depth
The most tragic thing I've ever watched.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Amazing story set in the latter end of WW2, focusing on a preteen boy and his little sister. There isn't many happy moments in this one. And it hits hard.

This movie was a very touching story on how during ww2 while the Nazis were trying to take over a family saved dozens hiding in their zoo. Even after the husband was taken prisoner and was feared dead the wife refused to give up getting everyone to safety before they were taken.

Another history book that reads like a novel, Hasting's is such a good writer. It's really interesting to see another side of WW2, and it demonstrates how much was done in secret. The book covers Bletchley Park, the Cambridge Spy Ring, and other behind the scenes operations, both for and against the allies.

The title of the movie
Flashbacks to WW2
When I first of the film I thought cool title want to watch this when I noticed it was on netflix I had to watch it. won't give too much away plot wise. Sam Elliot is always watchable in anything he's in. Would I recommend the film definitely just on the title alone

Book I recommend to everyone
I've read extensively about WW2 and the Holocaust, both fiction and nonfiction. This is the #1 book I recommend for others interested in those subjects and honestly my top fiction recommendation overall. Great characterization, good pacing, and a tense plot jeep the pages turning. Have tissues handy - I'm not a big crier but this one definitely got to me!
