watch it for fun and laughs

How should I put it? I'm kind of bad about history.During the beginnings of our war with the Nazi, we were being defeated. Hitler was catching everybody off guard back in the thirties.Well ,France was an Allie to Norway and so was Denmark.When The Nazis succeeded in Invasion of France, Norway had to turn to it's allies of Denmark and seek New allies from England. But the Nazis succeeded in invading France ,then they invaded Denmark. Finally they succeeded invading Norway attacking England as an allies. This force Norway to give up.The Nazis took advantage of their victory by making a documentary about it.During in between scenes they show this map diagram with animation white point marks. In the beginning you start to see this map of who the poor oppressed Nazis succeeded in conquering their alleged oppressors Poland, Then you see more shading of the other countries these monsters had invaded.Another cartoon of ships show , possibly a lie an overblown numbers of ships. I felt that this was exaggeration. I also believe that there were some put on scenes. Like you see these Nazi soldiers riding their bicycles,on a road in Norway. All of a sudden you hear a bunch of gun noises out of no where. The bicycle Nazis jump off their bikes and take cover. I think this was a put on. Another scene ,you see these Norwegian soldiers giving Themselves's up with a smile. You See one Norwegian man giving his I. D. as if he's glad the Nazis where there.This could of been a force grin or a put on by an actor. It seems that every victim is giving their country up willingly to the Nazis. Captured British soldiers are smiling to the camera as if they are grateful to Hitler that their prisoners. this is typical of a propaganda documentary. The truth is that Engalnd and Norway fought hard but Due to the lack of way to counter act this they lost.So the evil Nazis got away with it. The tides would eventually turn around.
