Every one of these classic British war films had a vital purpose in telling the narrative of the conflict; providing honesty, advice and consolation, these films helped a nation through the uncertain years before the outbreak of the war; supporting them in the darkest days of the blitz when invasion and defeat by Nazi Germany was a real possibility; celebrating their victories and consoling them through the trauma of surviving an unwanted war, leaving their once prosperous country bankrupt and in ruins.
