The word is that the director who's signed on to do it wants it to be the European equivalent, in terms of authenticity and grittiness, to be more like "Band of Brothers," and not like the typical apologetic European film covering the period. Ave Doug, where are you coming by this informa...

Ave ak74, 10g seems very unlikely to me as I have heard that most people pass out between 5-7g. Most civilian aircraft can take up to about 4.5g, and I hear that modern fighter pilots can take about 9g (with special suits) without passing out. I doubt very much that the stuka pilots routinely pulled...

Interesting and rarely discussed topic about an often forgotten aspect of the german warmachine. were they braver? Yes, they had rituals to divide the cowards from the heroes. They placed a handgrenade on the helmet of a soldier and let it explode. Did he start to cry and wimmer he went to the Heer...

Who Are All The Veterans?
Avete, I know who some of the veterans are on this forum, but I keep discovering posts that seem to reveal yet another veteran. If at all possible, could someone post a list of the veterans?
