This film looks ace and has direct relevance to our course. It's been delayed for some time and it feels like I've been telling pupils about it 'coming out soon' for years.
Check out the trailer...
It tells the story of the plot to kill Hitler towards the end of WWII. Members of the German Army knew that the war was lost and hoped to kill Hitler and end the war quickly.
The film will be good for looking at the 'Germany during WWII' topic. The main learning point about this area is the idea that at first life for German people at home was fairly good at the start of the war. This was when Germany was winning. However after 1942, things started going badly for Germany in the war and this had a knock on effect on the home front. By 1945 many German cities were in ruins and the German people were suffering terrible hardships.
Anyway, the film is out soon and is rated 12A, so don't waste your pocket money on High School Musical 3 and watch this instead!
