Another noteworthy WW2 movie, Not an epic, but enlightening Options

[Hellfighter]

I just saw this movie;
Days of Glory
I thought it'd be a nice read too with the extra links.... basically this all points out 'a' history of Muslims in France-> before the events of recent years that some would cheesily liken to an 'invasion' of sorts.

[Keystone Two-Eight]

Its also under the name "Indigennes" and it really is a great movie. You know, the French government had to come out and officially recognize the efforts of the conscripted muslim troops because of the movie?

I could say more, but it might ruin the movie.





Have you seen "Saints and soldiers' ? Its pretty good too, considering all the germans were reenactors in the movie.

Nope- hadn't seen it... I just looked at the trailer -it looks good. I almost got it mixed up with another excellent movie that was released a bit before [forgot the title] about a unit of GIs at battle of Heurtgen forest [before Bulge]. That was a very good movie.
