AAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH,

Just (and I mean just, was on national TV about 4 hours ago) saw that movie (Battle of the Bulge)

The F*cking movie isn't even historical acurate, some nice action but really terrible.

Tiger tanks, NOOOOOOOO WAY.

SS Colonel Kesler , It was Kampfgruppe pfeifer (or something) AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH

But I enjoyed it............

I know it's not very historically accurate, but it's still a good war movie. And I've always enjoyed that German song they sing in it. I used to have it, but when I lost my old computer, I lost that song. Panzerlied? Something like that. But like I said, I've been watching these older war movies for most of my 41 years, so I'd like to get my Favorites on dvd. I finally got Where Eagles Dare recently, and that was another one that was high on my list. So I may have to be just a little more patient, but I'd still like to have a release date.

A good Warmovie for me is : historical acurate (is a 99% must, I can understand 1% writers creativity)

Such as The Longest Day or A Bridge to far, that are good movies. I even like the films about Patton and mc Arthur.

And offcourse (not a movie butr a TV serie) Band of Brothers, absolutly perfect and historical acurate.

And now comes the worst part of cheap WWII movies, And I donīt think the most Americans know this BUT The germans are speaking DUTCH instead of GERMAN in a lot of movies. I know the both Languages are a like but please when you are making a movie It isnīt that hard to hire the correct translater !!!!

And believe me even your precious Panzerlied is partly DUTCH..........

I'll take your word for that. That's the main reason I took German in high school, though, was I wanted to know what the Germans were saying in all of these movies. But it's been over 20 years since I took German, and I never really used it after I graduated, so I don't remember too much of it. For practical purposes, I should have taken Spanish, but I didn't know back then that I would have a use for it.

I recently watched a Bridge To Far and was wondering if there was ever a German Version of that movie. From what I could tell the Germans kicked the brits asses.

You are right, the Brits are getting kicked out of Arnheim in that movie and in realtity offcourse.

And the city of Nymegen (20 km below Arnheim, Nymegen was liberated by the American 82nd Airborne during Market garden, so it was not a total failure) became a warzone for the Last 6 months of the war.

BTW. I was borne in Nymegen and life in Arnheim now (some 500 metre's from THE BRIDGE, it is still standing)
