Dunkirk

[dandydan]

Given the budget for the film, and the research that was undoubtedly done for it, it is an utter joke that they have yellow-nosed Messerschmitt Bf 109s!

Absolutely staggering! Messerschmitt Bf 109 units did not received orders to paint the engine cowlings, wingtips and rudders with temporary yellow paint until mid August 1940...

That is a basic error in this day and age...

And I thought I was anal about such things.

Kids eh........

Grown-ups actually, pete...

Not a question of being anal. It's about having research bods attached to a/any film who should be doing their job correctly. The error I mentioned is basic and simple, and quite easy to ascertain nowadays given the info available on t'internet.

I'm glad corbyn had a very different attitude to yourself, and feel genuinely inspired by how our younger generation have taken to politics, once engaged by someone for the first time in my own lifetime, I find your attitude quite sad in all honesty

This'll give the Daily Mail readers something to latch on to.

Massive mistake by the Nazis. Wouldn't have mattered anyway but the Americans came into the war to save England and democracy itself. Well in USA.

Or should that be well in the Japanese for getting them off the fence and a nod to Churchill for immediately declaring war on Japan, thus 'forcing' the USA to reciprocate.

At least this movie won't have that square jawed gimp in it like Pearl Harbour did, and some God awful love triangle.

Nah there's no reflected glory here. Churchill put gunships on the Mersey to threaten the working class.

This is going to be England's "Triumph Of The Will".

I like my despots to have a go. Moyes would have dithered and never declared war on America

nobody said he was perfect...a bit like BPB, with KD on the one hand and getting Moshiri in on the other
In fact more than a few of his Tory mates hated him...and some of the public weren't too keen on him either.
iirc, he also set the troops on the miners back in the day
Oversaw that complete male hen-up at Gallipoli.
When he died in 65 there was a nationwide collection / memorial fund set up. All the youth groups around the country Scouts, BB, etc. got the job of delivering the little envlopes.
I knocked on the door at one house and gave the envelope to an arl bloke...He started effing and blinding at me, 'kin Winston 'kin Churchill, I'll give yer Winston 'kin Churchill and legged me up the path with his walking stick.

Haha, is right man.

Well in USA.

Imagine that. (vaults)
