World War II Faith Heroes

Movies about World War II Faith Heroes on DVD and Blu-ray 

Step back in time with this amazing collection of films about heroes from World War II who held onto their faith in times of trouble. As you learn about the lives of incredible heroes like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Corrie Ten Boom you’ll be amazed to see how they held onto their belief in God to get them through times of trial. The battles that these men and women faced during World War II were immense and unbearable. Surely they thought there would be no way to get through their struggles alive. This was a horrific time in history and one that will always be remembered for the many losses and people who gave their lives to defend freedom and basic human rights. But what will also never be forgotten is how certain people during World War II were able to hold onto their faith and survive, living to tell of their struggle to hold onto faith and an eternal trust in God. These stories are inspiring and worthy of admiration, and that’s why we’ve put together this collection to help you remember the incredible lives of people who came before and fought for their faith through incredible struggles and times of persecution. Although they didn’t know if they’d live to see another day, they would always fight for what they knew was right, even if it wasn’t the popular opinion.

We at FishFlix.com realize it’s important to remember these stories. For two reasons in particular. On the one hand, it’s important to honor these people and their lives. They gave up everything just so that they could do what they felt was right and what they knew God had called them to do. They didn’t simply go along with the messages of hatred being spread during this time. They didn’t simply go along and participate in participating in Jewish persecution and hatred. They quickly understood that what the Nazis were teaching was just plain wrong. It was hatred, ungodly, and racist, and so they chose not to go along with that message. These people have very inspiring stories and it’s important that we honor their memories and celebrate their lives and the choices they made. On the other hand, it’s also important that we remember their stories so that we can be inspired to make the same choices in our own lives. There may come a point in our own lifetimes where we have to make the same choices as they did. If we ever experience persecution, how will we face it? Will we back down and allow others to dictate what we believe so we can save our own skin, or will we do what’s right and follow God no matter the consequences? This is an important choice and one that we need to think about now, before we’re caught up in the moment. These stories can be inspirational and can help encourage us to make the right choice and stand up for God no matter the consequences.

We have over a dozen choices to look through on our site and we hope that these resources can be an incredible way for you to learn more about those who came and fought for the safety of our country. Some of the releases you’ll find on our site include:

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Nazi Resister, Martyr: This exciting look at the amazing life is an insightful documentary into the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the incredible sacrifices he made. Bonhoeffer made some tough decisions in his life, but he chose to not simply stand idly by as the Nazi power grew. As he grew up as a professor and eventually preached sermons in the church, he began to speak out against the Nazi control and encouraged people to not follow the messages that the Nazi leadership was spreading. Because of this, he was banned from ever preaching again. This didn’t slow him down in the slightest. He chose instead to do what he could, both secretly and publicly, to take a stand for what he knew was right under God’s law. Because of this, he created many enemies in Germany and sadly, eventually landed himself in prison. Here he was able to write encouraging letters and speeches that would rally those who were fighting and speaking out against the Germans. Eventually, he gave all to further the cause of the Nazi resistance and eventually he gave his life under this cause. This DVD is a thrilling documentary created by Martin Doblmeier that features the stories and testimonies of the people who knew Bonhoeffer personally. Full of archival interviews and footage, you’ll be amazed as you uncover new truths about Bonhoeffer and the things he was enduring during that time.

Billy Graham Presents: The Hiding Place: This powerful drama retells the thrilling story of the life of Corrie Ten Boom. Witness the Ten Boom family’s incredible sacrifice as they did everything in their power to protect the Jews from the oppressive Nazi regime. Rather than following along with what the German government was preaching and what Hitler was saying, the Ten Booms set up a secret Hiding Place in their watch shop to hide Jews as they made their way out of the country. There were many times when they almost got caught, but they were able to set hundreds free through their special hiding system. Eventually the Ten Booms were caught, and Corrie was sent off to a concentration camp. Here she endured many trials but she never backed down from what she believed. Rather, she used wherever she was at as an opportunity to help others and serve them however she could. Corrie Ten Boom is a true story of giving and compassion, no matter how hard the times may be.

We hope that you can be inspired through these stories and that they can encourage you to stand strong in your faith as you go through day to day life. World War II was a difficult time for everyone, but it was truly a time when faith was tested and true heroes rose to defend their beliefs.
