Try “A French Village,” a series on Amazon Prime. It’s in French, and most of the actors are French and German until the Americans and British arrive. Shot in France, near Villeneuve and Besançon, on the border of Vichy. It begins when the Germans roll in and occupy the village. It’s about the occupation, year by year, and the resistance, and all that. Pretty devastating picture of what it was like for ordinary country people.
