Master director Frank Capras Divide and Conquer is a rapturous and gripping documentary that captures the German assault across Europe in the thick of World War II. Specifically, the film covers the events of World War II from the English and French declarations of war to the conquest of France. Capra offers striking footage of the German invasion of Denmark, Belgium, France, Holland, and Norway, as well as the English military evacuation of Dunkirk. In the beginning, the narrator shows Hitler as a clever practitioner of propaganda, which, coupled with a series of brilliant tactical moves by the German commanders and the work of spies and traitors, allowed the swift conquest of so many countries in Europe. The footage of actual battles between the Nazis and the armies of their defeated foes are nothing less than unforgettable. Divide and Conquer is a World War II classic that must be seen!
