@superbattleshipyamato Agreed, I knew of his damaged arm. I didn’t know he lost a kidney.

My deepest condolences to you Paul.

A great movie I saw was called Rosenstrasse it is in German but it is a movie about Aryan wives who are married to jews.
Don’t wanna go into too much details but I certainly liked it and if you can find it I would reccomend it.
It doesn’t have any fighting however but it is WWII Nazi Germany based

Under the Bismarck sortie the BC Prince of Whales should have been finished off and the 2 ships together made way for Brest. Then waited for Tirpitz to come out along with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau (spelling). Those 4 BB would have been something to behold. The admiralty would have been in stiches. Most of her capital ships were on convoy escort in many locations and the Germans had the advantage of deciding to focus on a single point of there choosing.

Another memorable commander was Günther Prien, commander of the U 47.

He went into the port of Scapa Flow with his sub….

Yes… one would imagine if the Germans had had their 300 U-Boats that Donitz wanted if not for Hitler.

Hahaha… but seriously, did you know way back in 1942 when the government released a video of Pearl Harbor a lot of parks were censored (like pictures of ships knelling over and sinking and how much we goofed up). Makes you think?

I did some research on the net and found out that the movie was released on VHS in 1986 under the name “State of Division”, so you may be able to find a video of it under that name instead of “Death Race”.

Here’s a brief summary without spoiling anything:

Two American P-40s go on a mission in Africa to bomb a minefield, and one of them gets shot down and has to make a crash landing. The second pilot lands to rescue his buddy, but a German tank and soldiers show up and a stray bullet takes out something or another so that the plane can no longer take off, but can still taxi along the ground. The remainder of the movie is about the Afrika Korps chasing the two pilots and the plane across the desert, and it has a great ending that I’m not going to tell you about… :grin:

It’s really good for a TV movie - on http://www.imdb.com it has a rating of 8.3 out of 10.
