World War II in the movies

WW II was depicted on screen in Hollywood movies while it was being fought. Though many filmmakers tried to capture the essence of the tragic period, four movies accurately portray the impact and the experience of WWII, according to Rob Citino, a Senior Historian at the World War II Museum:

• Casablanca (1942)
• The More the Merrier (1943)
• The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
• Stalag 17 (1953)
