who's seen it? what were your thoughts?

I watched it the night it came out. I enjoyed it even though Tom Cruise is supposed to pass as a German officer (shortest German I've ever seen).
Worth a look anyway.

Goebbels was short, but not short of a word unfortunately.

I would think that most Germans would have been short actually.
From what I have read, the Axis troops, were often freaked out by their first sighting of Australian troops as they were so much taller than them.
That could be because initially we had the cream of the crop heading OS with the AIF. I'd think as the wars went on, the minimum height for enlisting soldiers was lowered.

yeahh i hate tom cruise with a passion. reckon he's just a wanna-be with small man syndrome.
but on the other hand, i HAD to see this coz i find anything hitler/german related to interesting (not in a sick way)

Check out the original. It is in German and was on SBS recently. Anything that has been Hollywoodised is normally carp.

I'll have to do that REB. i saw a doco a month or so ago on the 32 attempted assasinations of hitler. that was pretty interesting, although i couldnt understand how they tried, and failed 32 times.

To find the answer out to that, you'll need to see Castro: The Movie

Just buy the Monarch Notes - it got me through Year 12

I was joking about Castro the movie, although, surely he's due for one to be made about him....

I was referring to the large number of failed assassination attempts on his life by the US.

I think what he meant was the yanks tried, and failed, to off Castro numerous times.

Not sure if too many Yanks could have gotten close enough to Hitler to attempt anything.

Didn't Hogan's Heroes have a crack one time?

Always got me when the black dude was out on the street dressed as an African, and aroused no suspicion

Here i was thinking hogan's heroes was based on true happenings!

damn my beliefs are shattered...

No - you're right - it is true

I reckon Adolf was in the camp one time and they were trying to kidnap him - they never killed anyone in that show. I did use to like the blonde secretary

Helga!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Helga

What's Frenchie looking at?
