"Below": A movie (Merged)

[Pax Melmacia]

I must admit I have never heard of US subs being based in Scotland during WWII

Ah, but remember one of the most important dicta of Hollywood WW2 films: Americans were in every theater of the war from 1939 to 1945, usually as a love interest who ends up trashing an entire enemy division. From the invasion of Poland to the evacuation of Dunkirk and in the Battle of Britain all the way to the rubble of Berlin.

I've seen it too. Interesting storyline, could have been better though.

The big star in this one was the boat! Check it!

have to stick my tongue in my cheek and agree with PAX...thank goodness that film with tom cruise winning the BOB for us helpless brits never saw the light of day..on the other hand the Canadians were here and very active...yet you rarely see a canadian made film about WW2..go figure
Gawd bless the commonwealth..you really do have to wonder wether the USA would have entered the war at all if we had actualy lost the BOB (with all it's history changing ramifications)....Russia may well have had to stand alone and that would have been a very close run thing i think...
what would japan have done under thos circumstances? attack the USA or attack Russia...makes far more sense to attack Russia..and then of course if russia crumbled...all of sudden the Axis powers would have able to take on the USA on a more even keel if they decided to..or if the USA decided to take the death of russia as a gift...who knows
horrible scenario ..but it was stopped at the BOB....the rest was down to the USA of course can't mistake that
