The Bridge = Good Movie

[gtbehary]

I want to thank the person on the board that mentioned the movie "The Bridge" (Die Brucke). I found a copy online and watched it the other day. MG42's, mausers , subguns, MP44s and Panzerfaust..........along with some really funky looking Sheman tanks (must have been made of plywood). If you get a chance to see this movie , do it!

This outfit was at the Militaria show in Dulles: http://www.warshows.com/StoreFront.bok They had three TVs going with some pretty good movies. They brought along a lot of DVDs VHS tapes, books and t-shirts. What is good, is that they have foreign films and some of them are in English subtitles or have two DVDs one in native format/English subtitles and the other DVD with English voices dubbed over.

Check their site out!

Actually, I did a search and found the movie on TCM Movies Unlimited (I think that is the site). When I got the video, the DVD was labeled by the place that you mentioned.

Given it was made in 1954 in Germany its pretty damn good.

...shame about the cardboard tanks though !

Someone please correct me if I am mistaken but I believe that when I saw this movie many years ago......during one of the scenes.......the young Germans guarding that "home-town" Bridge were re-filling MG42 belts on a "US M3 Link-Loading-Machine" for the Browning .30 Cal. MG steel-links?

The panzerfaust blast in the face was really something too! I am glad the DVD version has both the subtitled and dubbed versions of the movie. I prefer sub-titles.
