In The Hour Of Victory - Love and war, told through a soldier’s last words
Based on Jonathan Smith’s book, this insightful documentary tells the story of World War II through the eyes of a soldier who lived its horrors and died in the moment of triumph. His words—letters of love and longing to his wife—form the backbone of this moving documentary.
Through reenactments, archive material, and the unflinching testimony of his own hand, the film captures not only the soldier’s battlefront experiences but also the struggles his family endured back home. It is both a personal story of love torn apart by war and a universal reminder of the human cost hidden behind military victories.
