[Type941]

it was funny, and shuold be taken as is, without some overloaded political agendas, etc.

[Godalmighty83]

i would have laughed if it was even vaguely accurate.

[ICBM]

Glad to see you guys liked it :D

[Ginger Beer]

I saw this at Wolvesatwar.com and I agree, it's bloody funny. Anyone who hasn't read it yet...do so. It really is hilarious. :rotfl:

[martes86]

It wasn't mean to be accurate. That's for what History books are for. That was just a "How would have WW2 been if it were a RTS game with its chat room recorded?". And for me, it's quite good. :D

[Ula Jolly]

HAHAHA! :rotfl: "The luftwaffle are attacking me"

[DerKaleun]

It is vaguely accurate ! Its more than vaguely accurate in fact.

Sadly, this may be the only way history may be soon taught in our High Schools. :roll:

[FesterShinetop]

Man, this was hilarious! :rotfl: Thanks for posting this! :up:

[Godalmighty83]

i was distubed to here that a class in the us was shown u-571 in a history class.

that said we were treated to the final episode of blackadder goes forth.

Honestly, U-571 was used as a history lesson? Oh man, how wrong is that. You know I was thinking about my High School Junior Year History teacher...you know, it never dawned on me at the time, but she sure taught history with her own political agenda.

[Ula Jolly]

I saw u-571 when I was 12 or 13, so I may have to see it again to understand what is so deeply wrong.

[dean_acheson]

This is really funny, I think I posted something about it a few weeks ago after a friend emailed it to me...

[LA_Dodger]

Whats wrong with watching U-571 in a history class? If the class was studying the battle of the Atlantic, then its relevent, even if its not accurate. They probably werent using it as a lesson, just taking a break to watch a movie.

Because:

(1) It is a cheap, shallow cop-out. How about teaching history properly. A tutor who does their job right can get the relevant points over in an interesting way without recourse to trite Hollywood drivel.

(2) Kids today already seem to 'learn' their history (and almost everything else, for that matter) from Hollywood. Any teacher worth their salt should be fighting this trend to their dying breath.

Was the whole "not using it as a lesson" not clear? I wasn't saying that it's ok to use U-571 to teach, I was saying that just because someone heard that some kids "watched U-571 in a history class" doesnt mean that teachers are using it to instruct their students. :roll:

[clive bradbury]

It is the word 'probably' that is important. You made one assumption, I chose to make another. Maybe as a university history lecturer I am a little more cynical about modern teaching methods in school (I judge it from the standard of students I receive from that system...).
