The Armchair Historian presents “Life in German-Occupied
France”, which seems to have a game manufacturer as a sponsor.
The channels seems to have several animated films
showing the effect of war on civilians.
The video explains the split between Vichy France and
Occupied France, and then (after a brief introduction showing a family
scurrying in Paris backstreets) and then shows the impact on civilians. There was rationing of food, which caused some
starvation. The French laborers were
conscripted as slaves in order to return political prisoners from Germany to France.
The history of the effect of war on civilians is
always important, and the moral questions are sometimes parallel to those of
the pandemic.
