| Far fetched but a good film to watch especially if you dismiss the parts of it which would have been beyond happening in any clandestine operation. Wonderful scenes.Does anyone know the airfield which depicted the Luffewaffe airfield in the final scene? The JU 52 starred again.I thought the pilot had a look of Group Captain Percy Pickard who led and was lost on the Amiens Goal raid. |

| Listening to the audio book at the mo, a nice way to relax in the bath (hmm, too much info?). Smith and Schaffer are almost saintly in the book as they drug Von Brauchitsch, Col Kramer, the Reichsmarshall and etc in the great hall. Where are the Mp40s and silenced pistols? The film is far more violent.
