I didn’t know that Cromwell.
The South were his family’s lands, so I suppose he would have felt the urge to protect them and its people.
All we can say, is that he should not have rushed. But then we weren’t there.
He almost won the battle( on the 14th October).
Think I posted about Hastings last year, so will not repeat!
Watched Stalag 17(1953)Timeframe : Battle of the Bulge
-
The movie mentions some of the events/problems of the BotB
Freaky Flashbacks
- Didn’t recall that Stalag 17 had a Sg. Schultz
-
-
- Wonder if that is where they got the Sgt. Schultz idea for the Hogan’s Heros TV series. –"I know nothing! I know nothing.!"
-
- Also noted a mousey German Private with spectacles in a coupla scenes.

- Anyone recall Arty Johnson of the TV series Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In fame. He occassionally portrayed a WWII German Private whose main comment vas, “Veeeery interesting!” This is the character I believe he based his Nazi on.
-
- Peter Graves, the second leader of the Mission : Impossible IMF(Impossible Missions Force) was the the sneaky Nazi spy in this movie. I wonder if it affected his career. I do not recall him in much of anything else between S17 and M:I.

I have this movie. Its got alot of the same characters from the show. Its quite funny as well except when the Nazi informant gets shot by the Germans by accident.
I like Hogans Heros better i got seasons 1-4 on DVD

Seen it many times. I do believe that I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the show was based on this movie, at least in part.
