HetzersGonnaHetz Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Everyone.... Or in @Steve T's case, everything, who are reading this will have already seen 'Cross Of Iron' as it is a classic, but I watched it for the first ever time the other day, and it was awesome! Really enjoyed the historical aspect and the film as a thriller, and the uniforms were really nice! 2
Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 It is a really awesome moving @HetzersGonnaHetz. I no longer have it on tape, need to get a dvd of it soon as I havent seen it in over 15 years! 2

Major General Bil4338 Posted June 22, 2016 Major General Posted June 22, 2016 A fantastic film, Maximilian Schell was good too as the ambitious officer.detailing was really good too, especially for the time.one of my all-time favourite war films, maybe the best. 2

Full version 1
pylon1357 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I recall watching Cross of Iron many many years ago. It was not until about 2 years ago, that I found out the name of the movie. I now have a DVD copy, packed away in the basement with many other classic movies on DVD 1
HetzersGonnaHetz Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 Agh, bet your basement is hallowed ground now! Agh, bet your basement is hallowed ground now!

It is hollowed ground to me. I am still in the process of doing another complete inventory of my collection, but is seems to never end. I have found things I didn't even know I have. 1
Davejb Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 Just like my Sister in Laws hubby, after the Falklands, he returned with loads of different pieces of equipment ,clothing etc and when he became a QM at Chelsea Barracks for the SAS stores, even more accumulated in his loft. A couple of years ago his wife told him to clear some stuff out, so he had a look, and found nearly three hundred MRE,s up there along with a few Para Denisons, one of which I have now, loads of 58 webbing , 95 kit , camo jackets, two dress uniforms, cleaning kits for the SLR, a few bayonets, a couple are Argentinian bayonets, and three pairs of Danner boots, none of which fit me ,damn it. Most of it he sold at a local military market, as My missus told her sister she,d better not dare let any of it come my way, which was a great disappointment as my loft could do with a new look!!!!!!!!!!! 1
