Film God's and General's

[Abatis]

I thought Gods and General's was weak in comparison to Gettysburg too, but didn't think it totally without value, though I agree with many of Thor's points.... Wasn't Gettysburg based on Shara's Killer Angels rather than Longstreet's memoirs? (Incidentally, IMHO Longstreet was right at G burg, Lee wrong. I understand the political pressure Lee was under to attack, but he must have realized attacking those hills across that ground was more in line with what he made Union troops do, rather than an act he needed to subject his own to. HOWEVER, Longstreet did make sure Lee failed by dragging his feet on day 2. Inexcusable. Had he moved fast, Lee might have come out on top. Could have fought to a draw anyway, and then found a better place to make a stand. Longstreet should have followed his orders regardless of his own views. Even though his view point was vindicated, his lack of haste puts a good share of the blame for the defeat on his shoulders. IMO of course!

On movies, I just picked up and watched the German film, Stalingrad from the mid or late 90's(don't remember) THAT is a helluva movie...there was a clip posted a few months back on that...wasn't even aware of that one till that post! Thanks whoever posted it!
