That would be a very small price to pay for losing a war. Get in line.....right behind the natives of North America.

We're frequently portrayed as being invisible in Hollywood war films. :yeah:

I can understand that. It seems the solution would be for the German film industry to make films with the opposite bias then.

If they did that though people would probably cry:

Wait...no...sorry...wrong one...

And to be fair, the German film industry does make very good war films:

I'll tell you one thing that I do like about German made war films, and I think this is true for just about all of them...they are some of the most intense, dramatic and brutal depictions of war out there, there is no glorification, no flag waving, no message other than 'War is hell'.
Some English made films do capture that a bit, but German made ones tend to hit the nail on the head better, IMHO anyway.

The solution would be to stop making insulting movies on all sides. To give insult back isn't a solution in my opinion.

They have to.
Germans need to be reminded that war is hell or else we're going to see Leopard II's rolling into France again

Haven't you read Skybirds posts? They probably don't have enough working tanks to invade even France!

Sometimes it's not just Hollywood but the Armed forces that interfere if your movie or TV show relies on support for extras and vehicles.

I am reminded of the TV shows Combat and The Rat Patrol though. German MG nests couldn't hurt anyone but a guest star with 20,000 rounds. :o

Those tanks were made during the VW Golf II era, they should have been operational even when left for 20 years in a swamp

:hmmm: Well...if the mechanical parts work then usually it's lack of fuel.

They make good pillboxes though. :yeah:

And yet Hogans Heroes is popular in Germany so I understand. :)

It is interesting to read this from a german, after 69 years of allied brainwashing and 'reeducation'. You are supposed to still be kissing their a$$.
Take Merkel, as an example, when it comes to Nato, and Putin.
:-?

Hogan's Heroes was done in the 60ies and is so over the top that it is actually funny (I liked to watch it myself actually). It doesn't really pretend that things were like that and you never see them killing truck loads of idiots who can't fight.

You know what they say; Lucky in football, unlucky in 20th century warfare.:O:
