yeah I've seen Europa Europa its definatley a very interestingley shot film still and all I did'nt think it was really all that bad. I've always found the Novel of catch 22 to be far superior to the film sadly, I just don't think they can carry off the humour quite as sucessfully on film

Been there lots when I was a kid ! its always worth a good look I think and its not to far removed from civilisation which is always useful! go ahead and check it out!

I have just had the good fortune to watch the film 'the pianist' I thought it was absolutley fantastic poignant and disturbing in parts, I think the lead actor encapsulates the privations of his charector incredibley well. I had heard that was based on a real story, is this true? and if so does any ...

I'm really happy that this post is attracting more responses still, but to be quite honest at this juncture in time i feel it would be prudent to resist the temptation to point out americas flaws particularily as the american army is busy sacrificing thier young men in fallujah, It seems that howeve...

Yes freqauntly :( although i'm sure it was more often used as an idle threat really. as the war dragged on and man power in the east became more and more scarce, it was often put into practice. especially for the more recalcitrant among the heer and SS. all in all though it would be an altogether ba...

Actually I've always been very interested to know if the Germans have any equivalent organisations. It seems to me (and I could be wrong :?: ) that the November 11th celebrations seem to be very much the reserve of the allied nations and not so much the 'defeated' however I have seen lots of war mem...

yeah thats a strange one,

the only thing I can think of is that it probabley is a postumous award, but the thing that trips that thery up ins the fact there is no officail mention of it.

definatley intigueing

Wow! now thats the sort of thing you could really get your teeth into! is this underground base still intact at all? or has it been demolished? can you imagine what you'd find in such a place i'd dearly love a chance to see such a place! let me know how you research goes!

okay thanks lads thats much clearer (just about!) I had no idea there were so many different types of police units inside the reich at that time. Herr Doktor was right though the main emphasis in this book is the 'security' operations that op battalian 101 took part in. The book by the way is entitl...

actually your not wrong there if I remember rightly the man himself was more terrified by bomber formations than fighters for the very good reason that the bombers were heavily laden with defensive armaments. in fact he often laments this fact whilst describing engaging bombers over germany. :D Pers...

okay here it is the guerenteed way to win the war! Like was already mentioned entice the high grade jewish scientific community back to the Reich to work on the atom bomb thus ensureing that we have it first! ( it could prove to be a great lever on a political level) ratify the 'pact of steel' for a...

thanks sven that was a useful site adress! though i'm still pretty confused as to exactley what thier war time role in poland was meant to be, in the book I am currently reading they seem to be called in quite freqauntly to aid the hiwis and the SS in thier aktions, were they wehrmact police like th...

Yeah I'd say thats a pretty fair assesment! he did have a pretty hard time of it! but you have to admire the mans courage! 8) I mean to keep going up against increasingley impossible odds that takes balls! :shock: if I remember rightly though the bulk of his kills were made against heavy bombers as ...

Excuse me? who do you think you are christoph? who died and made you the fount of all knowledge? I don't have any time for anoraks and even less for a smart-ass! :evil: If you can't conduct yourself with a modicum of sense of humour than screw you O.K? as a matter of fact I said I could be wrong tha...

Does anybody have any idea exactley who the 'order Police' were and exactley what thier function was? who were they attached too? were they wehrmacht? SS or what? more specifically i'm looking for information on Order Police Battalian 101 thanks lads!
