Oh my {eek3} ...... how did I forget the Rat Patrol, one of my all time favorites?
Ya,' I'll admit that growing up myself, during that series, I would have sworn that 3 Americans and one British soldier, in a couple of beat up jeeps, personally won the entire African Campaign. I also believed that the Germans were TERRIBLE shots. Gee 150 Germans shooting at one Jeep and they hardly ever hit a thing. Too much Schnapps I guess!
I doubt that Hollywood had any intention of offending anyone; they just saw $$$$ and that was / is their ONLY focus.
Still, as has been pointed out so well by folks on this forum, NO ONE should believe anything from a Hollywood portrayal.
However, I will take personal responsibility for the US movie industry and issue an apology :redface2: to our gallant British WWII Allies. --- Larry
