Wolf Hound (2022)
Nice movie, total fantasy.
Like the Yankee Lady B-17G in the movie, the B-25 is out of place all together since the USAAF used no field converted B-25 "gunships" in the European Theater of Operations.
The "cheek gun" conversions were done in the Pacific only and were used for the suppression of Japanese ship AA fire for their anti-shipping skip-bombing tactics.
So the idea that one could shoot down an enemy fighter did once happen, but it was when a Japanese fighter literally blundered into a B-25G's guns as it began taking a shot at an enemy vessel.
Otherwise, an enemy fighter could easily avoid the field modified B-25's "business end".
Seven Lost (2021)
Unusually Bad
Poor photographic quality, unclear dialog that comes in spurts, lame weapons choice with multiple M Carbines and no one had a single Thompson. Their obviously poor quality blank rounds that barely made a puffing sound (as well as not properly equipped rifles for shooting blanks), since the M1 Carbine holders were obliged to cycle their bolts with EACH ROUND.
Also the viewer is left totally unclear why the Italians would want to kill the Americans since by the time had troops on the ground, the German occupation of Italy along with being driven out by an allied invasion, thoroughly pissed off the Italians to the point they surrendered after killing Mussolini themselves.
IMHO, you are better off watching Combat re-runs on YouTube.
