Mike Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I've liked all that's mentioned but also " The Guns of Navarone. " I must have some German in me cause I liked their equipment. Their 88's had solid tires on spoked wheels with fenders. It was separated from that truck and could be traversed onto the ground. It was a biger and more powerful high powered rifle and could knock out anything we had until we later got the 90 mm. I just remembered a man from where I first worked in 1970. He would come into our job place and bring or pickup jobs for printing. His name was Walter and was a German Officer in WW2. He brought a photo of himself to show some of us that wanted to see it. He was in full dress uniform with boots and brimed hat. He was a very tall man with large nose like a polish man and stood straight and tall. He talked very loud with an accent and seemed a happy person. I recently read where those people finally got their country rebuilt by 1989. Too bad I cannot talk with Walter now. I'm sure we could have a very good conversation. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19494-gengeorge-s-patton-jr/#findComment-80224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather's brother was killed in WW1 in the Argonne forest shortly before the war ended.A Walk in the Sun was released in 1945. Follows a unit from the Texas Division is Salerno, Italy. The Enemy Below is a U.S. Destroyer in the South Atlantic against a u boat. The star is Robert Mitchum. The Cross of Iron starring James Coburn and Die Brucke (The Bridge) made in West Germany in 1959 are also a pair of good films. Always liked Kellys Heros toio.
