The Battle of the Rails

I usually stop watching films when I discover that it has subtitles but I'm glad that I didn't with this one. Stopping German supplies and reinforcements reaching Normandy contributed greatly to the advancement of the Allies, many trains, and rail tracks, were destroyed by the RAF in the run up to the invasion but the events in this film also helped greatly.

After the war the French were very keen to show that they didn't just capitulate ASAP but had an active resistance movement but in the many WWII history books I've read their overall contribution to the victory In Europe is considered to be minimal.

Regardless of that this film is very well worth watching.
