The Great World War II Box Set (6-Disc)

THE SIX BEST SWEDISH WAR FILMS FROM THE WORLD WAR II ERA COLLECTED IN A BOX!

PLUS 16-PAGE BOOKLET!

When World War II had been going on for a few years, the Swedish emergency film began to change form. The war became more and more real even for neutral Sweden as knowledge of the atrocities that were affecting Europe began to reach the public. The filmmakers who had previously made unsuspecting depictions of brave boys and happy girls in the field switched to telling realistic stories. Now it was about resistance movements, concentration camps, takeovers of fictitious countries and soldiers' life-sacrificing fight against the enemy. From being Swedish tigers, the directors were transformed into roaring lions who used the film medium in the fight against Nazism. Studio S has now collected six of the best Swedish war films in one box.
