This is a most unusual film. It is not based on any actual events, but based on what could have happened if Germany were successful in initiating a land invasion of UK. Why a tactical village in the middle of nowhere would be a target is puzzling, but we buy the premise because the situation was possible in the early years of WW2. I have no doubt that the resiliency of the UK residents of this quiet town is suitably stated in the unexpected violence that follows after the subterfuge of a silent invasion by the Germans. A very different kind of WW2 film.
