Default Well spotted

Hi guys, yes I thpought I was the only one to see that. I was very impressed with the detail - much better than the average hollywood style depiction. I missed the beginning and for a while thought they were a Polish battalion.

The same CMP seemed to be used over and over with or without bows but that's not to detract from the quality of the film. Did you notice the very realistic wrecks in the battleground scrap heap when he went AWOL ?

Nice to see the producers cared about historical accuracy for a change and it was a very enjoyable film.

Cheers

Phill

Default tyres

No armour but I'd love to know where they got the correct WW2 era looking tyres for the cab 12 F60 Ford . They had a scene where a flat tyre happened .

The uniforms and all kit were excellent as well .



Phil, I missed the beginning also .

Mike
