Is it the Battle of Berlin or Stalingrad ?

Tony EH

Yes, it's 'Stalingrad: Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben'

Your go.

Morlar

Ok, here is a very recent one 2011 I think, big budget one. I haven't seen it yet so can't comment on quality but not a historically accurate movie, more of a hero flick (this is apparently a still from the movie set).

rednik

Is it Captain America?

Morlar

Yes, Well done 'Captain America'. I tried to pick something which was not too obscure. Haven't seen it yet but it could be good. Ok over to you.

rednik

Hopefully not too obscure.;)

Is B 'Go For Broke' ?

No idea what A is.

rednik

A : 1944 set movie about a captured american bomber crew.

B : Movie about a unit of Japanese-American volunteers.

Both movies were made in the same year.

rednik

Another clue, both movies were made in 1951.

rednik

Are more clues needed?

Wrong, this was made in 1952. Both films pictured were made in 1951.

A. Set in Fance in 1944, bomber shot down and crew are captured by the Germans who try to get sensitive information from them.

B. Movie is about the 442nd Regimental combat team.

Tony EH

B is 'Go For Broke'. It has to be. I don't know of any other film about the Japanese marine reg.

rednik

B is indeed "Go for broke".
