The Imperial Japanese Army has just captured the then-capital of the Republic of China, Nanjing. What followed was known as the Nanking Massacre, or the Rape of Nanking, a period of several weeks where over two-hundred thousand Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed and an estimated 20,000 chinese girls and women of all ages were raped.
Shot predominantly in Black and White with English Subtitles, this is an epic WW2 Movie that needed to be made to chronicle one of the worst wartime massacres of the 20th century.

Just when you thought you had seen all the worthwhile Foreign WW2 Movies, one pops up that surprises you.
This one comes out of Italy and chronicles the life of a young Italian infantry solider on the front in North Africa in 1942.
A poignant, thoughtful war movie that shows both the human and absurd side of war.
On the one hand, the Italian soldiers on the front lines were made to starve and die of thirst because the Italian High Command were sending boot polish and horses for the “triumphant entry into Alexandria” instead of sending bullets, water, medicine, replacements and rations to run Montgomery out of North Africa!

A harrowing tale of survival in Post World War Two Poland.
The story centers on Rose, a Masurian woman, whose husband, a German soldier, was killed in the war, leaving her alone on their farm. A single woman had no defense against Russian soldiers who raped as a form of revenge, nor against plundering Poles who found themselves in desperate straits. The law of the jungle had replaced the rule of law. Help arrives for Rose in the form of Tadeusz, a former officer in the Polish Home Army who survived the Warsaw uprising and is attempting to hide his identity.
This is a gritty, realistic story of how the Soviet’s raped and plundered all across Eastern Europe after World War Two.
Few historians will admit that this is exactly what Hitler was trying to stop in invading Russia in 1941.
As far as Old West History goes, no other person or story had a more profound impact on me as a writer than Billy the Kid.
When I was fifteen years old, my parents took me on a three-week summer RV trip to New Mexico, Colorado and Utah.
While in New Mexico we spent three days touring Fort Sumner and Lincoln to include the Lincoln County Courthouse and Jail from which Billy broke out of in 1881 (the bullet hole from where he shot Deputy J.W. Bell is still in the wall).
I think the jail scene from Sam Peckinpah’s Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973) nails it:
I have read over half a dozen books about Billy the Kid and his demise at the hands of Pat Garrett, his long time friend and although it is fanciful to entertain the notion that Pat allowed Billy to escape that night (as proffered in the recent western Old Henry) the historical record is clear: Billy the Kid was shot down like a dog in the middle of the night by a man he loved and trusted.
If you have not seen Old Henry yet, check it out and read my review HERE.
With the current state of movies being complete and utter SHITE I thought I would start a new thing where each Saturday we go back in time and watch a older movie together without having to worry about tranny’s, inter-racial or gay sex, multiculturalism, anti-white rhetoric, or any other type of socially degrading woke liberal politics shoved down our throats.
I will do my best to mix up the genres each week.
Being I grew up in the late 70’s, early 80’s, I am a sucker for medieval-fantasy movies like Conan, Krull, Beastmaster, etc. so this week I chose Ladyhawke from 1985 starring Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick and a very young and beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer.
I was perusing through old WW3 Movies and this by far is one of my favorites of all time.
I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard at a performance than Sterling Hayden’s portrayal of the whacked out General Ripper or Peter Sellers as the Amazing German Scientist, Dr. Strangelove (Mein Fuhrer!)
