Adapting from a Real Life Event: Explaination

I have chosen to rewatch some films and TV series that are adapted from real events, specifically war films. 

I have a lot of Military, Police and Public Services in my family and War Films and TV have been something I have been interested in since I was a child. 

I have chosen these films and TV because of my connection to them, but I have also chosen them to do with the time period they're from, e.g. WWII, Vietnam, Modern Day, trying to pick from a range. I have chosen to do six in total, doing one per week for the next six weeks (to the end of November).

The Films and TV Shows I have decided to discuss:

WWII:
