Arise, children of the Fatherland Our day of glory has arrived Against us the bloody flag of tyranny is raised; the bloody flag is raised. Do you hear, in the countryside The roar of those ferocious soldiers? They’re coming right into your arms To cut the throats of your sons, your comrades!

To arms, citizens! Form your battalions Let’s march, let’s march That their impure blood Should water our fields.

Nope, this movie was made during the war in 1942. This particular scene is actually played by French nationals in exile in the US. This movie is as far from woke as you are ever likely to see. With Bogart playing the main character. He represents the US support of France.

I didn't say that the movie wasn't made during the war. Your response has nothing to do with mine.

I wasn't arguing with you. I was just adding a bit of context. These people were hero's but not the only ones in WWII. As for Hollywood, it was a different beast back then.
