Attached File Made me think of two more to recommend: “Zeppelin” from 1971. Basically the C-movie version of “The Blue Max” with Zeppelins.  Zeppelin (1971) LZ-36 Hangar Reveal “Occupied” - Norwegian TV series. 1st season is slow but really gets going towards the end. The rest of the series didn’t deliver. Russian forces seize oil platforms and then occupy Norway. Ordinary people have to decide if they just get along and at what point is it time to fight?  Okkupert - Occupied Attached File |
 Defiance is a 2008 American epic war film directed by Edward Zwick and starring Daniel Craig as Tuvia Bielski, Liev Schreiber as Zus Bielski, Jamie Bell as Asael Bielski, and George MacKay as Aron Bielski. Set during the occupation of Belarus by Nazi Germany, the film's screenplay by Clayton Frohman and Zwick was based on Nechama Tec's 1993 book Defiance: The Bielski Partisans, an account of the eponymous group led by Belarusian Jewish brothers, who saved and recruited Jews in Belarus during World War II. |
 Men Behind the Sun (Chinese: 黑太陽731; lit. 'Black Sun: 731') is a 1988 Hong Kong historical horror film directed by Mou Tun-fei. It is a graphic depiction of the war atrocities committed by the Empire of Japan at Unit 731, the secret biological weapons experimentation unit of the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was the first film to be classified "level III" (equivalent to the US rating NC-17) in Hong Kong. |

The Siege of Jadotville. It's about 10 years old, but it is a true story about an Irish contingent of untested peacekeepers sent to the Congo in 1961. No fortifications. Outnumbered 20:1. Told there will be no relief, but you are to hold the position. It is a very good movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_JHsiQTTmgExcellent movie. |

They never really had a chance at all. Denmark declaring neutrality and allowing the Nazis to occupy them was really the only move they could make. |

This was a low budget sleeper I rather liked after finding it. VietNam war era. I was just going to link a trailer, but found the whole movie here on YT. 84 Charlie MoPic.  84 Charlie Mopic |

Another very good Russian war movie, but this one is focused on ending the war. Political/War thriller. Great stuff.  Battle For Afghanistan | Full War Movie | WATCH FOR FREE |

While technically not a war movie, per se, it does involve British SAS in storming the Iranian embassy in 1980. 6 Days |
