Just finished a film called Into the White

( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1876277/ )

It is based on the true story of a German plane and a British plane both of which sustain serious damage during a duel over Norway in 1940. Both air crews become engrossed in their engagement and venture further into the snowy Norwegian mountain wilderness where they eventually crash miles apart.

Each crew is unaware of the others survival until the British and Germans eventually stumble upon the same uninhabited hunting cabin. It is here that they take refuge to wait out the weather before making the hike toward the coast where they will see which side, allies or axis has become the victor in the Norway campaign and thus which of them will become POWs and which of them will return home.

the two crews overcome their mistrust of one another and develop an uneasy friendship while working together to survive their frigid ordeal.

The film is a bit slow paced, done perhaps in the same light as "Saints and Soldiers" and i think it is well done - most here would enjoy it i believe.

If you have an opportunity, and like little known stories of World War II, i recommend you check it out.
