Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Thousands of movies have been made about World War II (nearly 6,000 movies listed in IMDb, 1300 movies in Wikipedia enlistment mention WWII as one of their plot keywords).[15]. There are very few Hollywood WWI movies as compaired to WWII movies due to late entry of USA in Great War in 1917. We are obsessed with World War movies that nearly 77 years on WWII, it seems that the demand for second world war movies appears unstoppable, the supply inexhaustible. In fact, we can broadly understand the evolution of the second world war movie as a process of redefining the war's meaning.[16]
  2. ^
    The battles on the Eastern Front of the Second World War constituted the largest military confrontation in history.[17] They were characterised by unprecedented ferocity and brutality, wholesale destruction, mass deportations, and immense loss of life due to combat, starvation, exposure, disease, and massacres. Of the estimated 70–85 million deaths attributed to World War II, around 30 million occurred on the Eastern Front, including 9 million children.[18]
  3. ^ Not even 10 movies were made in Indian subcontinent which then consisted of present day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma while approximately 1.3 million Indian soldiers served in World War One (28 July 1914 - 11 November 1918), and over 74,000 of them lost their lives. But history has mostly forgotten these sacrifices, which were rewarded with broken promises of Indian independence from the British government[19] 2.3 million soldiers manned the Indian army in World War Two (1 September 1939 - 8 May 1945 V-E, 2 September 1945 V-J), and 89,000 of them died in military service with allies, 26,000 died with INA Axis, about three million Bengalis were killed by British created famine, more than half a million South Asian refugees fled Myanmar (formerly Burma).[20]
