When this advert came out, some left wing commie, pinko, softie, poofda, complained. that it was racist and not fitting to the memories of the men that died on tis raid. An old lady wrote to a news paper, sayig her husband had died on this mission. But supported the advert, saying that, amongst other things it was a sence of humour that saw the country through the war!

I am German and I love this ad. It pokes fun at Germans AND Britons (especially their inabillity to beat us at penalties :P). So its fair. We are all friends now after all.

How is an ad featuring Brits and Germans RACIST? JEEEEEE-ZUSSS!

[Robert Tolhurst]

It's only HALF WAY through the advert that you see it's a spoof! It retains the "round" bombs from the film which did not show the (classified?) true cylindrical shape...

So if we want to win the next war, we'd better stack up on Carling Black Label. Good to know. Hans, schnell, ve must haf ze plans von ze Karlink braueri.

"British sense of humour irritated the Nazis sufficiently that the marching anthem of the U boat corps"

Tell us more!

Although I Find this advert insult mainly due to the fact that as Brits we don't need reminding abut German goal keepers its rude and insulting , we beat them in 2 world wars and they still had the last laugh. But its the British sense of humor that has keep us fight when others just give up, its things like this that make me proud to be British. :)

You'd be hard put nowadays to find an advert with a WW2 theme in it. Last one was a McDonalds advert, a few years back, but the WW2 theme was watered down. i.e the "German" guards uniform was slightly altered
