Best song in the whole movie. But then again, how can you not like hearing a polka? And I bet all of your feet are tapping to.

@CzapigaKielbasa Central-European music is very cheerful, Blaskapelle, Volksmusik, etc etc. Specially the tunes that include much accordion, tuba and clarinet.

Somebody answer this question:

As you can see, Von Hapen is wearing a black ss uniform w/ swastika armband. Now, Holywood is an apparent claimer of a majority of these uniforms, saying almost all their movies have the uniform in them. Now, apart from: Where eagles dare, 633 squadron, inglorious bastards and dead snow (not holywood, but the only other movie i known with that uniform). What other movies has this uniform in, and please give me a list? Thank you.

@91haciting I saw this kind of black uniform in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and in a movie called The Damned with Helmut Griem wearing it. I don't remember any other movie where it has appeared.
