    Have not watched it much but from rare partial episodes that I saw it seemed to be some kind of retarded joke of a movie about WW2.

    If there are any episodes showing tought fight against serious opponent like Panzerwaffe then I'd be interested to see them.

      Just watched a documentary called 'Airplaneski' about Aeroflop before having to comply with international standards, cracking stuff - pissed up pilots on vody, planes landing without waking the passengers, vody for breakfast meal, whip rounds for parts at the next stop, quick bribe for the pilot for an unscheduled stop....

      Ace!!

      Having said that these pilots are ex-air force, done it, been there rather than some spotty Airbus pilot who's done it all in a trainer....

      The docu went on about about Sov pilots priding themselves on soft landings, and that is true, never had a hard landing in Russia ever, including several in snow-bound runways, very soft....

      Russkiye Pilyotov!

        Dude, that's because hard landing in Russia is more commongly known in the West as a fatal crash!

          The Nazi equivalent was the Volkssturm, sort of like them facing the British Commandos in ur analogy...

            Volkssturm actually had to fight regular and elite units, what about Home Guard?

            I'd much rather watch movie about RAF or Royal Navy - people who actually had to do the fighting.

              True - haha! I well remember at Chelyabinsk Airport the lack of Easyjet type stewards and tape keeping me away from the jet engine intake, I could feel myself being pulled in!!

                  I would be pretty sure the yanks have some crazy arsed killer weapons under a desert somewhere that we could not even imagine.

                      I take it as a NO.

                      Perhaps I should dust off my copy of Panzer General 2 and see if I can succeed in Plan des Unternehmen Seelöwe...
