That's a HJ uniform he's wearing - for the older members. Ratzinger's military service was a bit of a non-event, though it is used as ammo by those who are against some of his hardline policies. This is pretty accurate - lifted from Wikipedia. When Ratzinger turned 14 in 1941, he joined the Hitler Y...

Hey, Just received the premium edition DVD from Amazon.de last night. (I live in Australia so it'll probably be next year some time till it's released here!) I can confirm that this version DOES have english subtitles. Haven't watched it yet, so don't know how good they are. Also got a heap of extra...

Battle of the Bulge was atrocious. Not only the 'Kessler' character - seems like he worked direct for satan - but the M48s in greywash as Panzers and the M41s as shermans. Telly Salavas - nuff said. Stupid film. Anyway, the film was only PART filmed in spain. They started filming in Belguim i think ...

Hey guys. Try living in Australia. I'm 22, so i guess some sort of borderline youth case. Anyhow, according to OUR schools, WWII was fought in new guinea and North Africa, specifically around Kokoda and Tobruk. The Holocaust and the Burma railway were the only other notable events. Oh, i remember he...

I know that this is a bit of an unusual post for this board, and it probably could lead somewhere nasty...but i couldnt help myself, and we're all capable of acting like mature adults. I believe that this strikes at the heart of Hollywood, and what is wrong with 'historical' movies. Not sure if you ...

Hi Guys. Thought you'd appreciate these. The movie cliches book by the Suntimes Critic Roger Ebert started this. Funny and SO true. WAR MOVIE CLICHES § You're very likely to survive any battle in any war, unless you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home. § Every army platoon has at lea...

Thought I'd add my two cents worth. The Film industry is not interested in historical accuracy, and anyone who goes to see a film expecting a historical documentation of events is heading for disappointment. The fact of the matter is, the media of film is art, the same as painting or music. As such,...

Below is the synopsis for an Australian documentary made last year. Does anyone have any info about the apparent 'mascot'. I have never heard of a similar story happening. Also, anyone have any idea what unit he may have been attached to. I have posted this to the SS/WSS forum as the film shous his ...

Yeah? Tell that to the 150 Republican Guardsmen who held on to a corner of Umm Qasr for 48hours+, and last i heard, the 1 MEF is still held up outside Am Nasiriyah. Never, ever underestimate an enemy, look at Hitler and the Sovs, Bonaparte and Russia, the Crusaders and Saladin, the Austrians and the...

Let's also not forget that the USA has also undoubtedly commercial interests at their top ten reasons to intervene in Iraq. We all know oil will be out within the next half century. Here are just a few facts for your information: • Largest investors in Iraqi oil industry: 1. Russia 2. Fra...

Okay, here's how it is. Im working for a TV station which broadcasts to the Asia Pacific Reason, and we need to buy some Documentaries to screen. Here is probably the best place for reccomendation. They need to be en english, nothing too offensive (e.g. nothing on POWs kept by the Japs in WW2), and ...

I can really sympathise with you guys. I hate it when celebrities think that, because they are famous, somehow their opinion matters. What is the correlation between music/acting and international politics/diplomacy/military strategy? I went to see Pearl Jam last thursday night, it was a really good...

What is everyones favourite type of music? what bands/composers/artists do you like. I'm partial to everything from Tchaikovsy to the Beach Boys to Frank to Pearl Jam and good house Music. And, of course, a Bit of the Military style music. faves would have to be Hohenfriedberger Marsch, Lied der Pan...

I'm going o/s in june/july this year. i was wondering what you guys think about where to go, out of either europe or the US. by Europe i mean the UK, France (Paris, Normandie and South), Be-Ne-Lux and, of course, Deutschland, probably Munich and also Berlin. But i'm not sure about the feelings towar...
