Did much of my undergrad on WWII, plus mom, dad and uncles all served, so try to keep myself restrained on comments. Darkest Hour mostly focused on the early internal Brit politics. Appease or War. It seems laughable now, but entertaining an intermediary from Mussolini seemed reasonable to some at the time, as the film reflects. And then his hanging some years later...you just never know. Careful with the friends you choose, I guess.
