The Franco-Prussian War (1 Viewer)

[Carnahan]

Can anyone recommend good documentaries and fictional accounts concerning the conflict?

I haven't seen any, whether documentary or drama, except for the first episode of "Fall of Eagles". That's a good series, but the Franco-Prussian War is merely a background for the events at the start of the story.

That's not to say there aren't any, but I just have never seen any.

Prost!

Never seen any docs and I am unaware of any related fiction. Plenty of histories, starting with Michael Howard. -- Al

I watched a doco on that war about a month ago on the History Channel,
Cant remember for sure but i think it may have been under the title of the "History of Warfare" series.

"D'homme à hommes" 1948

It's about the man who set up the Red Cross. Scenes of Solferino in 1859 AND warfare in the 1870-71.

If you watch the newest movie version of the Phantom of the Opera, Prussian shells SHOULD be dropping during the final scenes.
