“Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied France” Christoph Waltz: my time has come

My grandmother was a resistance fighter and courier for the BBC in Normandy. She was in more gunfights than most vets and was a loaded pistol. She taught French until she was nearly 90 years old. Vive la France, la Liberté, et la Résistance!

Id actually like to see what life was like in Germany post WW1 and Versailles Treaty. And then again post WW2. Those poor civilians had it rough.

Me: They left the baby! The French Family: We’re gonna do what’s called a “pro gamer” move”...

It's all fun and games until someone bypasses the Maginot line.

Reminds me of stories my grandad would tell me from the war. He was born in german-occupied Jersey, just off the coast of Normandy and Brittany. We had our own language here, Jerriais, but English was the more widely spoken one. Jerriais made a return during the occupation as it was close enough to French not to arouse suspicion, but not so close that the Germans who spoke French could understand what we were saying. Sadly, the language of my people is all but dead, with more and more native speakers dying each year and almost nobody learning it or speaking it at home.

Absolutely love, love these. Keep it up. Different take and makes history interesting to watch.

Fun fact: Before the war, France used the same timezone as the British isles. But Germany moved the French clocks forward an hour as they used the timezone we now know as Central European Time

I really like these videos. I'm always so focused on the weapons and battles of wars and don't usually think about the civilians and their lives. Thank you.

1:09 I had a mini heart attack when she dropped the so called baby

What’ pains me is that the Germans had a guy named France Holder, but they didn’t use him to hold France.

The animations, the History... Its absolutely Beautiful

Been on my recommended for ages, didn’t think it would be this good damn

I went from “THEY LEFT THEIR BABY!!!” To “oh.”

Imagine being a 40 year old at the time, you had spent months or even years fighting in the trenches during ww1 and now 20 years later your government surrenders after only 6 weeks

Bravo. These bite-sized morsels of WWII history are absolutely delectable. Thanks for all your effort in enlightening us to perspectives that aren't commonly seen. I'm inspired to find out more about the French Resistance. I can't imagine what it must've been like to take arms against a dominant military force; not only risking your lives but also that of your family and loved ones should you be caught.
