That is why the British SOE decided to cancel the elaborate and feasible plan to assassinate him later in the war (later in our war which started in 1939 that is )
The Battle of Hürtgen Forest claimed more than 24,000 dead and wounded.
Today most historians agree there was little or no strategic justification for so great a sacrifice.
The WIKI article above said American losses were 88,000 to 140,000.
Again Generals that don't know #%&*$# sending young men to their deaths for nothing. How many times have we seen this ? Too many times! Going back to when human first discover killing one another in wars.
Battle of Hürtgen Forest is also where idiots officers and Generals decided to have Thanksgiving dinner on the front line and the Germans slaughtered American troops gathering for dinner.

I want to see this France movie. Where can I see this? It's not on Amazon Prime, YouTube and Vimeo. There is a $35 DVD on Amazon but it don't play on US players.
I read many reviews that say this is better than the American remake.
Westworld episode 3 disoriented me. I will need to watch it again before Sunday.
Did you ever get caught up with season 3? If not you will continue to be disoriented.

You know why right? This film was released 8 years after the end of the war and there was no CGI at the time.

Currently watching "A Bridge Too Far" one of the old classics from the 70's..I'll probably break out the book after and run a game that has Arnhem..Like "Highway to The Reich"

A fantastic war movie by Richard Attenborough and of course the stellar A-list ensemble cast was perfect: Michael Caine, James Caan, Gene Hackman, Maximilien Schell, Robert Redford, Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery, the list just goes on and on.
