    질문 입력

    How did we see France, the nation, surrender during the Second World War? And how did Winston Churchill turn the situation around in Western Europe fighting against Hitler? I want to dig into the backdrop around the movie "The Darkest Hour." I am going to visit Paris, France very soon, and I am very excited about this trip and learning that part of history of that country and that city. I think I need to see the city through a different angle: not just as a fan, but as a judge.
