Translate this! A WWII Related Challenge

Best are Stallingrad, The Fighting Lady, Avengers: End game. captain Marvel and The Longest Day, these are best so far, infact I saw all of them by using coupons through Florida Ticket Station, if you need to watch them, you can easily buy tickets from there.

I saw “WWII” and “bomb” in the heading and thought this was a thread about the Pearl Harbor movie with Ben Affleck.   :-D

Heh heh.  :lol: It was kinda cheesy but had some good spots.

When the movie came out it generated a lot of discussion, in various history-related forums, about its historical accuracy (or lack thereof).  One commentator sarcastically noted that he had carefully checked the roundels of the aircraft that were attacking Pearl Harbor and that he had been pleased by the accuracy of the fact that they were Japanese roundels rather than British ones.

Fascinating Malachi.
I am sorry I have not had time to read it until now.
I love German aircraft and the DO 17/217 was always a favourite of mine.

Thanks Mallery.

@suprise:

I like Stalag 17 and think it should be in the top 10

Love “Stalag 17” top 10 probably for me. Not ‘the best’ though.

… also they did not have an affective way to kill russian supply lines…the soviets did…

I’m not sure of the ground war (though the Germans were heavily outnumbered at the time and barely trying to hold their own), but the German U-Boat fleet really crippled Russia-British shipping for awhile in the Archangel area.

lol :lol:

Best of the 20th Century

Ronald Reagan - inspirational leader, made americans proud, killed the USSR and Warsaw Pact threat, brought America back from the economic misery of the late 1960’s and 1970’s Dwight D. Eisenhower - a brilliant man who got things done FDR (War Years) - a leader when leadership was needed Richard Nixon - resignation overshadows the fact he was a good president Teddy Roosevelt - conservationist, expanded US influence in the world

Worst of the 20th Century

LBJ - Corrupt, Stupid, and Foolish…many Americans died for no reason under his leadership, the ‘Great Society’ was a complete failure. JFK - Corrupted by the Mob, Bay of Pigs failure, all flash no substance FDR (Depression Era) - Depression dragged on because of his inept policies Jimmy Carter - Wimp, Apologist, and Poor leader Herbert Hoover - Couldn’t breech the floodgates of the Depression

Whoever the “Jimmy Carter” fan is, is a complete moron. I don’t even have to explain the reasons why he was perhaps the least effective leader this country has ever had.
