WW2 books, movies ect...

Over the past 4 or 5 years I have seen several movies that take place during WW2.  One book that I read is called Number the Stars by Louis Lowry.  This was about a jewish girl who lived in Denmark, and was smuggled out of the country after the germans invaded.  I have also seen a number of movies that are based in the time of WW2.  About two years ago I watched the movie titled "Flags of our Fathers".  This was a very particular story line about a troop of men who captured the island of Iwo Jima.  Once they reached the mountain in the center of the island, they mounted an american flag.  A picture of this was taken which became the "face of the great depression."  Also, two years ago, I watched the entire season of the TV show "Band of Brothers".  We did watch part of this in class, but the show is very different from the interviews we watched in class, however the story line is much like that which is described in the interviews.  It follows a group of paratroopers who fought in many of the key fights in WW2.
