Yes, I got quite a chuckle from one fellas comment on the IMDB's "Attack on the Iron Coast" site:

"Well yes this is a bad movie, there is nothing I can do or say that can change that. Its story is unbelievable and impractical, why would a group of soliders go all the way over to france with no possible way back!!! almost facing death ( pre June 44` that is )."

Must of surprised the hell out of him when somebody pointed out this movie was based on an actual event.
