Sometimes you have to suspend beleif.
Peacemakers in cap and ball era , American tanks with nazi markings, etc..
Knowing things can ruin otherwise good movies for you.

Tora! Tora! Tora!

My father landed on Utah beach in France. 4th infantry division 6x6 Truck Driver. The WW2 Movies back Then was in the theater was the battle of the bulge and the longest day. He could reflect a whole lot of what he did during that time, to me during that time, My wife's grand father was a tanker. a kind of short man, was a gunner on a Sherman tank. .Anyway me and my dad used to watch the old movies on TV and I still remember His comments while watching these old movies. Some one that was there and can relate the real deal. Both men could tell ya a real story. However...Dirty Dozen and Kelly's Hero's..good one's fiction I believe but great movies for that time.

While fartin' around in the workshop I like to have something on the TV I can mostly listen to and take a look at occasionally. You Tube offers a variety of movies and old TV shows. Top of my list is Combat with Vic Morrow. The entire series is there. Another is 12 O'clock High. Rat Patrol is there but must've been more exciting to watch when I was a kid. Seems a wee bit hokey now.

Watched everything i could get my hands on as a kid as far as war, nature, westerns, and those horrible 80 and 90s action movies.

Masters of the Air on Apple TV was a great series on the 8th bomber group in WWII. Based on real people who flew those flack magnets.

Saving Private Ryan has to be one of the best ever made.
Sand Pebbles is another good one.
Too many to list.

The Bridge on the River Kwai

We Were Soldiers.

Fury is one of my favorites.

Seargent York with Gary Cooper
