HetzersGonnaHetz Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Also watched this film before Cross of Iron, and I highly recommend it. Yes they use Sherman's as Tigers, but that's the beauty of it! I especially like that the lead actor was part of the 16th IR! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 One of my favourite films plus funny in places and sombre in others, also Lee Marvin was a marine during the war and apparently went through some tough times on Saipan when he was shot twice and literally all his fellow marines were either killed or were injured, he was awarded the Purple Heart and a few other medals, but spent a long time in hospital recovering. After the war I think he was a plumber before becoming an actor 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon1357 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 This is a great movie for sure. It even has Luke Skywalker in it. I love the part where the french lady is giving birth in the tank using machine gun ammo belts as leg stirrups. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) All Superb Films, But only a few remind me of the horrors of WW2 - Saving Private Ryan/ Wind Talkers(Navajo)/ and the old favourites - Went the Day Well. Great films and not too forget - Where Eagles Dare/ The Longest Day/ A Bridge Too Far/ The Big Red One..!....Superb..and many, many more modern films. Best to you all film buffs....sit back with a few beers on a cold rainy Winters day, in the warm...and enjoy!
