What Are You Reading
I'm presently reading "The Sleepwalkers. How Europe went to in 1914" by Christopher Clarke. I got it as a gift in December, but nowadays I'm a slow reader so I've only read a little more than half of the book, and archduke Franz Ferdinand has just managed to get himself and his spouse murdered...- Vilna

Movies about the French Resistance, any suggestions?
On the topic of the French resistance and the nazi-German occupation of France there are works of popular culture beside movies that deal with this period. I'm thinking of comics. First there is the epic in six parts, "Il était une fois en France" about the very complex character of Joseph... -

Berets, Anyone?
I've just ordered a monster sized beret from Ron Greer. I must say looking at your picture it looks great. The first beret I had was a chasseur alpin beret. I got it in Grenoble years ago, but over time the stem came of, a pity. The chasseur alpin berets are I bit difficult to get hold outside... -

Film Noir... with a French Twist.....
Jean-Pierre Melville née Grumbach, was truly one of the great French directors. I would also like suggest the movie "Le deuxième souffle" about a doomed gangster played by Lino Ventura, and Paul Merisse as the suave police man. Both actors are superb. Another real French noir is the movie...- Vilna

Movies about the French Resistance, any suggestions?
There are some very good movies on the topic of the nazi-German occupation of France. Some years ago the movie "The army of crime" came out. It's about a communist resistance group in Paris consisting of immigrants. It ends very tragically. Well so does almost all of these movies. Then there is...
