Klink, Schultz, and General Burkhalter were all played by Jews who fled Nazi Germany.
Poland saving Europe from being overrun by the Soviets - an almost unknown history outside Poland itself.
Was unaware of a movie but historian Norman Davies 1972 book ‘ White Eagle, Red Star: The Polish Soviet War 1919-1920 ‘ covers this quite well.
Pork Chop Hill: Oldest lieutenant in the history of the U.S. Army.
Dead and Loving It.
They did take literary license(without need)But captured the true story pretty well
"Where's your spirit? I don't hear no singin'. When you was slaves, you sang like birds."
A close friend busts a gut whenever you mention John Wayne's movie ‘ Green Berets ‘.
My buddy was a Green Beret and served in Vietnam and brother, does that movie make him laugh.
In Ron Paul & his supporters collective minds!
“Little Big Man” Wild: Bill was shot and killed a few weeks after the Custer mess, not before. The rest of the movie was a farce, too. But entertaining.
***One guy is holding up a M1906 Springfield.***
In the RUSSIAN VERSION of WAR AND PEACE (1968) during the battle of Bordino, if you look closely you will see a few Russian soldiers armed with Mosin-Nagant bolt action rifles. LOOK QUICK!
“Except no Americans were involved.
I think I read that they were added so American audiences would watch the film”
Well , you couldn’t expect Steve McQueen and James Garner to speak in British Accents. The story was accurate though
Why on earth hasn't anyone made a film about the Battle of Bunker Hill. Its got everything going for it in a film, even a muti-cultural aspect ( free blacks ) for the liberal Hollywood producer, an epic story - sure hope it gets made some day.
The ending would have to be true to the story in order for it to be any damned good.
Ironic, I’m planning on watching that tonight. Who were you, TK-421?
Any WWII movie that uses Shermans to depict German tanks is simply not worth watching.
Very Accurate - Decision Before Dawn. Great flick about use of turncoat German POWs for intelligence operations in latter days of the war. Filmed on location in Germany after the war.
Wildly Inaccurate - Battle of the Bulge looks like the hands down favorite, but how about Saving Private Ryan? I don’t think George Marshall ordered any Ranger op to exfil the last Ryan out of Normandy.
I’m curious - but also not so sure I want one of my favorite movies “ruined”. But I wonder how accurate the tale of “Jeremiah Johnson” was - Robert Redford as a Mountain Man. I’m guessing they took some liberties with how the Indian’s fought and tortured. (Like the bald guy buried in sand up to his neck out in the sun).
