Goofs

Near the end of the film Stuttgart is shown being bombed by a large B-17 raid, and the bombers and the escorting P-51 Mustang fighters are shown flying and bombing at low level. In real life B-17 raids were conducted at high level, and in any case escorting fighters would never fly so low next to the bombers, as that would negate any ability to protect the bombers from higher-flying German fighter aircraft.

Even Alcohol Can't Save This Movie

This is one of those movies that makes me wonder why people spend money on it when there are so many starving children in this world.

The acting is sub-par (on a good day), the script is something I would expect from someone in high school or lower, and the whole production is just painful.

I have seen horror movies with more credibility than this. Why anyone, would spend good money to watch this, let alone produce it, is beyond me.

You'd be better off watching Saw Part 26 then this piece of ill contrived drivel. It insult even one who had anything to do with the second world war, including those not born yet.

The best alternative ending, would have been to line up the production crew against a wall, and shoot them. It insults everyone's intelligence, and and anyone's taste. Please let this die a quite death in some film morgue that no one cares about.

In short, it should be shot in order to put us all out of our misery.
