“Battle of the Bulge” was pretty accurate. Not a great war flick but it was underrated.

“Battle of the Bulge” was pretty accurate. Are you kidding? That was one of the most factually inaccurate films about WWII starting with those American tanks the Germans were using.

Yeah, the German M-48 Patton tanks advancing across the Ardennes desert really screamed verisimilitude.

The movie “Battle of the Bulge” was denounced by former President (and Supreme Allied Commander in Europe during WW2) Dwight D. Eisenhower soon after its release in a press conference due to its glaring historical inaccuracies.

Uh, that’s a joke, right? Did you not catch that the battle went from being in a snowbound forest to a Spanish desert?
Also, consider the ending. Pretty sure the Germans didn’t just run out of gas and walk home.
That being said, Robert Shaw gave a great performance.

That was one of the very worst WW II movies of all time for many reasons.
Maybe you mean The Longest Day.
