Prof. Wilms writes on Hollywood films, WWII

Wilfried Wilms, assistant professor of German, presented a paper at Cambridge University, "'Military Targets Only!'- The Air War on American Celluloid," as part of a panel that investigated how Hollywood films of the 1940s and 1990s have misrepresented aspects of World War II that generally receive little attention as they pose challenges to the 'good war' myth. Wilms organized the panel titled "Combatting the Non-Combattant: America remembers the Air War in Europe and Japan" for the British Association of American Studies.
