Whether you grew up with these or not, they’re all  pretty funny war stories and possibly too esoteric to be found on endless cable reruns.  Don’t let the younger generation miss out on what good comedy war can be!  (these are all affiliate linked to Amazon for your convenience – please use that link if you decide to buy from them.)

• Operation Petticoat – hard to beat the WWII pale pink battleship and the usual hi-jinks of 1950′s classic Hollywood
• All things ‘Allo, ‘Allo – The BBC interpretation of the French Resistance – nobody, not the French, Germans, English or Americans, can get anything to go according to plan
• Dad’s Army -the endearingly quirky old folks (mostly WWI vets) left behind to guard England during WWII
• Hogan’s Heroes- the classic allied forces in German POW camp series – it’s campy but a classic
• The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming – An early Cold War spoof that will likely have you cheering for these specific Russians
• Sleepers – a late Cold War story of embedded spies that get activated accidentally -they would much prefer not to carry out their mission!
