5 June (film)
5 June (German: Der 5. Juni) is a 1942 German war film directed by Fritz Kirchhoff and starring Carl Raddatz, Joachim Brennecke and Karl Ludwig Diehl. The film depicts the events of 1940 when German forces successfully invaded France. It was shot on location in France and Germany. Constant changes to the film, often at the request of the German military, led to large cost overruns.[1] In November 1942, the film was banned by the Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels for unspecified reasons. It has been speculated that Goebbels thought the film was not entertaining enough or wished to avoid offending the Vichy government of France.[2]

gollark: Actually, no. Divide the village in half and make one side have its stuff stolen and the other receive free food from a magic box.
gollark: We need to find villagers and somehow exploit them horribly. I'm thinking somehow steal the farm work they do.
gollark: There's basically nobody on it!
gollark: I have a cool thing which automatically slows falls, boosts flight speed, shows somewhat useless velocity overlays, and compensates for the generally awful TPS.
gollark: It's stupidly dangerous but keepinventory is on.
