It was NOT the same german. I can't be arsed maknig more dvd grabs, i did a while back and it ws obvious it wasn't the same one. Also mellish was NOT saying his name. IN the movie you don;t get to know the germans name, afaik in the credits hes referred to as steamboat wilie, because thats one of his lines in the movie.

Looking back at spr it wasn't really that good of a film in terms of historical accuracey. The final battle just oozed spielbergs hate for the germans. The ss divisions were the best trained soldiers of the war Period. However in the final battle spielberg shows them repeatedly walking into 30 cal machine gun fire even when theyre basically loking right at the fucking machine gun.

In german tactics any observation areas would be destroyed by tankfire before the infantry would enter an enemy occupied town. In other words jacksons belltower woulda been blown to shit before the tanks moved in but again this is left for jackson to do his miracle working of firing 9 rounds in a row out of a rifle that holds 5 rounds max.

Mg-42 was the backbone of german infantry tactics and was always the first thing to be set up however in the final battle we see 1 mg-42 and some morons just running around with it instead of deploying it somewhere and putting some fire on the americans.


The whole movie just smacked of bullshit propoganda. The "evil" germans and the "righteous" americans. Spielberg oughta not bother making any more war movies unless he's gonna do it properly and not make the german army and the SS look like a pack of retards that didn't have a clue wtf they were doing.
