I didn't know you can drive tanks in a power slide...
I really hate this film! :mad:
IMO, -it is so historically inaccurate and distorts the real events to a point where it is unwatchable!
At least one German general agrees... :smoke:
Upon seeing the film in Munich, General Hasso von Manteuffel, the former German commander of the Fifth Panzer Army, told the press:
"The content of the film is completely fictional and has hardly anything to do with the events of those days...It also presents a distortion of the facts and actual conditions under which the battle took place...The film is an insult not only to the American soldier who fought in the Ardennes, but also a scandal for all soldiers including those on the other side."
So yes! I vote for a "do over" with this dud... or maybe it should be a "star" in the "never should have been filmed" category? :chin:
