This actor has done as many or more war movies than John Wayne. He has 10+ WWII related movies and at least one WWI movie that was pretty good. Unlike John Wayne who plays the good guy, this actor usually plays the bad guy.
Name the actor and bonus points for the WWI movie he was in.

Bigiceman wins a cigar
It is odd that he is British and most of his roles were of Germans. Cross of Iron was the best I think.

I am new to this so it will probably be an easy question.

What movie featured a M-4 Sherman tank with a piece of pipe over the barrel to make it appear to have a larger caliber gun?

Sure FramerT. Hilts, or "The Cooler King", was only 1 of 3 American officers in the camp. As for what he studied in college, it was some type of engineering.

Sorry Bigiceman that isn't correct.

Think back to the first time Hilts and Ives where in the cooler.

Ok, gang. The answer was Chemical Engineering if anyone is interested.

As for the new question, I'll stick with the POW scene. In Stalag 17, who turned out to be the Krout spy?

In Saving Private Ryan, the officer who gets the news about the three brothers dying takes out a copy of a letter written by a president of the United States to a mother who had lost all of her sons. Which president and which war?
