Same here.
Cool Flick.
I saw it at the drive-in when i was real young.
Nazi Zombies coming out of the water scared the crap out of me.
Same principle, laugh at what you fear or hate to defang it of its power over you.

Minor corrections: Shock Waves. Two words. Plural.
“Ha Ha, mien name ist Werner Braun, ya. Ha. First we are making the rockets to kill you and now we have surrendering and you can see we are not quite such bad fellows, ya? Bitte schon, have you a cigarette?’’
That's because they got a lot of basic research on liquid propellants from the Smithsonian Institution's collection of Robert Goddard's work.
The embassy just asked ... & received.
Just like around WWI, the US was giving them [Kaiser Kronies] work on anthrax.
Oh, and the German panzerschreck was based on another piece of Goddard's work - a bazooka captured in North Africa.
“not up to something like stealing your riding mower”
Two words.
MultiMaster.
or is that one word?
There were actual anit-gravity work going on in Germany during the war. There was a documentary on the subject (not specifically German) that was very interesting. There is also a guy in Seattle who is working on something similar to what was believed to be the German experiments. The German site was destroyed by bombing but the remains suggest a similar approach.
I think they would have won the war if that were the case.
That's what I always thought, but it might have been a case of a great product development department burdened with a really poor new product roll-out team.
Or perhaps someone or a group of someones in product development or roll-out didn't like Hitler and/or the cause.
“If they really wait until 2018”
Actually I think those wacky Finns intend to keep asking for donations to help them produce their film until 2018.
I loved Hogans Heros as a kid. My old man, WWII vet, would come in and change out of his boots, watch it for a few minutes with me.
He’d always leave with a chuckle and a “Oh those crazy guys...”.
He never did explain to me what it probably REALLY was like. Not that he had been a POW, but I’m sure he had some knowledge of the subject.
The need to treplicate with the earth men — they bring beer to trade.
Mine did. We watched it together anyway.
By about 1943 it was pretty obvious to the brighter Germans that the war was lost. After that, a lot of defense industry effort went into convincing Berlin that such great things were on the drawing boards that it would be foolish to draft their younger engineers for the Eastern Front. The real object, of course, was to preserve the companies' talent for the post-war world.
Or so I'm told.
So there may very well have been some pretty wild 'official' reports floating around back then, but I wouldn't put a lot of faith in what they claim.
"Say...they taste just like chicken (fingers)."
Better be good beer...
The good news is that the movie is supposed to be a comedy. I think they are also making fun of all those people that put Nazi technology on a pedestal.
