"Kelly's Heroe's" is just one of those fun, entertaining War Movies in the same light of "Where Eagles Dare" and "The Dirty Dozen". Forget...
Red Bull poised for another great run this weekend. My money is on Webber and Vettel. Two thumbs up for the U.S. and F1 for coming to terms and...
I'm having second thoughts about "The Devil's Brigade". For the life of me I cannot think of an actor that could fill William Holden's shoes....
I would also add to the mix, Stephen Ambroses' book "D Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II". An excellent read. Buzz
I wouldn't have a problem with "BotB" remade just so long as they did a complete script re-write and made sure there was better casting. As far...
Gromit, you may be on to something. I wouldn't mind seeing "Sink the Bismarck" given the "Das Boot" treatment. Maybe a joint U.K.-German film....

Thanks guys for mentioning "QBVII" and "Kapo". Very good films that seem to have been forgotton. "Kapo" starring Susan Strassburg has a nice...
My personal thoughts about the "what if" being asked: if the BEF had been overrun I still don't believe that Seelion would have taken place, the...
IWD, I enjoyed your post and don't completly disagree with you, but as a trained historian any "what if" scenario is a complete suspension of...
Remember this though...with the II SS Pz Corps "resting" in Arnhem and no knowledge of them being there, Market Garden or better yet, Marshall...

I'll post the pics I took at the museum.
