The U-358 rides into Cape May, N.J., in the custody of a destroyer escort 'prize' crew. At Portsmouth, N.H., destroyer escorts convoy the U-805 into harbor.

What was this crap about the "arrogant captain" "personifying unrepentant Nazism" about? He looked normal enough to me.

@ corcan:

Quote:"Finally, one last question: If Germany is so great, why isn't it a superpower?'

Germany has risen once again. Don't worry, they'll have the world by the balls again. And since the US is on their side today, the Americans will even profit from it.

Deutschland über alles!

@Gauraonline Where are you getting your info from about bombing Bagdhad? How can you in any way compare the terror bombings of Hamburg, Berlin or Dresden with the damage done to Baghdad? The fire bombings in Hamburg and Dresden literally caused a wind storm ! You never noticed that even that mosque with the golden dome was left intact after the fall of Hussein ? Btw, most of the Persian Gulf oil goes to Asia, check it for yourself.

Nazi humiliation ? What did Bush just do to Bagdhad ? There is no difference. This movie is propaganda. America has raped and pillaged parts of the world in the name of being the "good guys" and Canada engages in these atrocities with the US in Afghanistan. They want to steal the resources there. Dropping the Atomic Bomb ,what it did to so many babies and women. Thugs . Wars are fueld by meat eating. As long as we kill animals,we will have to be sent off to be salughtered in wars

Nazi humiliation ? What did Bush just do to Bagdhad ? There is no difference. THis movie is another form of propaganda. America has raped and pillaged many parts of the world in the name of being the "good guys" and Canada still engages in these atroities with the US in Afghanistan. They just want to steal the resources there

[pikewerfer]

It's funny to listen to the commentators. If you compare this to German or Italian commentators during the war, you will notice there is no difference: they are all spewing propaganda. Hilarious. :-)

@jansmuts123 Well to the Germany of pre-1918 I agree and proudly shout Deutschland über alles! , and the gap needed for superpower status is only available to very few countries ... namely Russia, China, and India. As for sides ... there isn't going to be any war in which you have to worry about sides and American partnerships.

[RevanorSzeged]

jerrys did the same and even worse.

Coventry, Plymouth, Portsmouth, London, Southampton... and that's only England.

[Paneuropax]

as a german i thank the american army for freeing us :)
