I believe that Tora Tora Tora is the best docu-drama of Pearl Harbor yet.
Then I guess "In Harms Way" falls under the first category. Would "Battle of the Coral Sea" fit in the second category?
Didn't anyone like Battle of Britain? You had to love the authentic aircraft and flying scenes if nothing else, tho think it was pretty close...
It was good entertainment. Ed Harris was believable as the aristocratic major. But the graphic sex scene - What? Oh yeah, this was hollywood....
C'mon! The film had a disclaimer at the begining.
Should we then include Final Countdown in this list? Hey, ya gotta love that Tomcat stalling as he slows up to check out that zero.
I can agree with that!
Would anyone vote for that Quinton Tarentino (sp) film, Inglorous Bastards as worst?
Seems to me the worst of WWII movies would be the sub-genre (is that a legit term?) of WWII Horror. Anyone see The Keep? But then I think Zombie...

My father was James K. Woolnough. He was a Lt. Col. at that point in the war. Any information would be appreciated.
Great photo's all! Thanks. One of the items on my bucket list is to see this stuff in the flesh.
Seems to me that Rommel is an obvious for the Best list. He had it both in skill in the profession of arms as well as the ability to gain his...
Natman, thanks for the update. That is later than I understood him to have taken the 393rd.
Earthican; Can you shed any light on a mystery? Your extract seems to show that a LTC J.D. Scott was C.O. of the 393rd during the Bulge. Our...
TobyS, Thanks for the input. Would love to compare notes. Dad was C.O. from November 44 (I think) thru the end of the war. I believe that he...
I am interested in any information on the 16th Inf. Regiment (1st Inf. Division) in the ETO in WWII. My father was XO of this unit prior to his...
Hey Tommy, I have been called worse, believe me. :p Call me anything but late to dinner.:D
