Bedknobs and Broomsticks should be mandatory viewing in schools for all children
Hot take: Bedknobs and Broomsticks did more to show the ethnic mix of the troops who fought for Britain in WW2 than my GCSE history course.pic.twitter.com/N7dtHw3y7u

I might be off base, so correct of wrong, but that first pic looks like it has at least a couple of instances of brown face though...

Oh definitely. There were almost no South Asian actors in Hollywood at that time, though. Sabu was dead. Quite a few Lebanese, but they'd often get Latinos or Italians or not even bother browning up. Wild Wild West, 1967pic.twitter.com/hfdGwnVX8Z

Depends which part of WW2 you are talking about. Non white Imperial troops were never deployed en masse to the Western Front in either 1939-40 or 1944-45. In terms of the BEF in 1939-40 that was a deliberate consequence of British defence planning in the 1930s.

And there was no-one from the Indian Army at the battles of Midway or Kursk either. What's your point?
