While this movie is certainly a propaganda piece, Britain was most assuredly NOT "beaten down" and "cowering in their cellars". As I recall they won the Battle of Britain alone that very year of 1940. In fact, at the time , they were the only ones standing up to the Nazis. Visit the Museum of London and the section where you get to relive the Blitz. As we all know, the Nazis were ultimately defeated by the Red Army; the United states and the British Empire only helped relieve the pressure by attacking in the west, bombing their cities and winning the war against the U-boats. This movie was just about the same as all the other propaganda films made by all sides during the war.
