One of the few war films that did a good job.
And here's too the Veterans.

I just watched "Hunt the Bismark" on Youtube a few weeks back, also a great movie
Think I need to see Tora, Tora, Tora again, while I still have WWII Naval battle fever. Any other recomendations? (apart from the above -and Das boot for obvious reasons) |

Battle of Britain. Not a navy movie at all, but one of the best airwar films ever.

Interesting family story about that movie. In the Pointe Du Hoc scene my uncle's national guard unit was used as extras. Unfortunately the shot showing him was cut from the final film.

Excellent read. Puts quite the human face on the "other side".
