The second reason is that it was only in 1942 that the Allies (including the Soviets) actually started winning significant victories and keeping ground, unlike the back and forth in North Africa. became involved directly, thus not getting much interest from Hollywood. Generally speaking, the period 1939-early 1942 (except for the attack on Pearl Harbor) tends to be neglected in film, for two reasons.

It is rarely depicted besides some French TV films, and these tend to focus on the exodus only (defeat announced on the radio, people fleeing massively on the roads as far as they can while some German planes are shooting at them). Same about the fall of Western Europe in spring 1940.The Polish epic film Warsaw '44 (in Polish, Miasto 44 ) released in 2014, covering resistance fighters during the Siege of Warsaw and winning many film awards in its country.He did surrender to spare his men unnecessary deaths, then killed himself with a handgrenade is hardly known outside Poland. Sabaton made the song 40:1 about the battle of Wizna, which despite such elements as a ridiculously lopsided Last Stand and a Heroic Vow note the Polish officer in charge had vowed not to leave his post alive.Not unexpectedly, it was a Polish studio that made the game. Half the missions are related to the Warsaw Uprising, and the final mission is the fall of Warsaw.

The fact that it covered many lesser-known theaters of World War II such as Poland and Norway was a selling point in its (modest) marketing campaign. The 2014 first-person shooter Enemy Front is about an American reporter embedded with many European resistance groups and telling their stories to the world.He also made the first film about the Katyń massacres - mass murders of about 22.000 Polish elites and military by the Soviet NKVD, which was denied for a long time by the USSR. A bit appears in the work of film director Andrzej Wajda (a Pole), e.Also, the Polish resistance is hardly ever mentioned. The Polish-Soviet War and Polish September Campaign also deserve better coverage than they get outside Polish media.However, after about a decade, it was clear that these overly jingoistic stories were oversaturating the domestic market and becoming parodies of themselves, and these works have gradually started to slow down by the late 2010s. Chinese movies and TV dramas about the Second Sino-Japanese War have been around for a long time, but beginning in the late 2000s, a huge chunk of Chinese live-action entertainment became devoted to telling heroic stories of resistance and struggle against the evil Japanese army and its occupation of China note This was quite a break from Chinese war movies made in the 1990s and early 2000s, which tended to have more of an anti-war theme and while acknowledging the Japanese as evil, still managed to treat them with more nuance and realism, with some of the earliest and most prominent examples being Lust, Caution and the first Ip Man film.
