  1. I myself own the film and have seen it on two occasions. 

     

    It should be noted that a fairly deep understanding of the various groups and associations that existed during their time, and what their function was in Germany's economic comeback is extremely helpful to appreciating the film properly.  As, if you are not aware as to what is directly being appreciated in the speeches, it is difficult to fully grasp the messages.

     

    As for the cinematography, as many agree, it's rather captivating and it's no wonder her work is used as a model for film-makers even today.

  2. Thank you for sharing these! I'm a military history novice, but I have a feeling that you and my grandfather would get along very well. Thank you for the descriptions and for the interesting info. Sounds like you had a great time smile.png

    I'm very glad you enjoyed what you read! I'll be sure to come up with a sequel in the very near future.

     

    The Jagdpanzer 38(t), at the angle it is at, looks kinda like the Hetzer from WoT...

    Edit: I just saw... It is the Hetzer. XD I fail. Never the less, it is an amazing tank.

     

    And I recognize a few others from WoT. Tanks are awesome in general.

    Ahah, yes. Despite how loved it is in-game, the crews were rather upset with the tight space they had to work in.

     

    can't choose a favorite! *.*

    xD I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much to the point of needing a favourite! ^^
  3. World War II Tank warfare. Such a rather interesting area to learn about. I must ask, since you focused on what I presume are all German tanks, did you see any allied armor as well?

    Plenty of it! Bovington Tank Museum, being the largest single collection of armour in the world has all sorts of examples from the dawn of the tank to late-Cold War era.

     

    My main field of knowledge comes from the German Panzerwaffe, which would be why this entry is the first. I may make an entry focusing on American or British/Commonwealth armour in the near future!

  4. Just thought I'd chime in for the heck of it.

     

    I live and I die, that's all that really concerns me, and I do not fear death, I welcome it as a part of everyone's life. I am eternally grateful to have a life and when I die, I wouldn't have really lost anything, just gone back to what I was to begin with; nothing.

     

    I mind my own business and do not concern myself over who believes and doesn't believe what, since it doesn't affect me in the slightest. I believe faith is an extremely powerful tool that can lead many people to live grand, fulfilling lives, putting spirit and hope in believers' eyes. People say religion starts war. Well, there is good and bad to everything in the world. Humanity tends to focus more on the bad caused because it is more interesting to discuss. Such as the news reporters', "If it bleeds, it leads."

     

    Hollowshield, I can completely understand your confusion as to how such people can be happy and I can safely speak for myself in saying, I'm happy. I don't need a guide to help me through, and if there is one, I thank Him for his kindness towards a non-believer such as myself. But, in the end, it doesn't matter to me, I live my life as good as I can be, I live for others, and I live to make others' lives more bearable. I take great joy and pride in helping those in need and putting warm smiles on friends' faces.

     

    I hope that little rambling shed some light on my particular viewpoint. If you have any further questions out of curiosity, do feel free to give me a shout.

  5. A shame to see you've had such a crumby day, really. Can't say I've been feeling much different though, my own days are beginning to accumulate and wear on me. But - I know I cannot afford to let myself feel down and I know I must press on. I've found perseverance can go a long way for self-satisfaction among other things. Keep your chin up, eh?
