I just picked up this DVD cheap, $7.50 at Wal-Mart, and it's pretty good. If you like real WWII equipment this seems to have a good deal of it. I've spotted M-24 Chafees, M8 Greyhounds, Duce and a half trucks, M3 half tracks, staff cars, jeeps, REAL, or at least they looked real, German half-tracks, etc. it's so nice to see Allied equipme actually BEING Allied equipment, instead of seeing half-tracks with German crosses on them. The acting is all right, the plot at least feasible. Now I have to do some reading on the real events to see how much is history, and how much Hollywood.

It's a good movie to make models by.

I picked it up at Walmart several months ago too for $7.50. For those who want A Bridge Too Far, a favorite of mine, it is also on sale for $7.50

I think that movie was made in Czechlosovakia Those German halftracks are probably the Czech versions of the SdKfz 251's They were a bit wider Called the OT-18 I believe It is a great movie
