Or something.

Awww, C'mon, sometimes they show you as victorious heroes like in "Zulu", its tough to beat spear thrusting tribesmen.;)

:D Well, now THAT is a very very acurate recreation of the movie "Zulu" every summer :D . Instead of lead we give them beer and whatelse.
Ibiza is just one of those places where any selfrespecting and curious Western European youth has to go at least once in his good years. Just alike a Spring Break Daytona or Mady Grass in New Orleans.

yep, U-572, one of the worse movies ever... tss... thank got Irented it rather than going to the theater...

Enigma, haven't seen the movie, but have read Harris' book and found it enjoying, although, yes, it does play down on Polish mathematicians' work in the late 30's that brought the fundamental basis for the final Enigma's code breaking.

very much preferred Harris previous book <Fatherland that is totally fascinating and of course ended up in a crappy movie - that was of course a real and scary parallel Universe... where nazis won the war and the US president in the 60s is Kenndy Senior... (which one of the two would be worse?!!) :D

I've read somewhere that it was a british destroyer that had captured a german sub and while the germans were scuttling her the crew of the destroyer boarded her and captured an enigma with 5th and 6th wheels.

Balaclava is the name of the battle where the 93rd Highlanders stood two deep in a long thin red line to face the charging russian cavalry, and sent them packing 1854 the phrase was coined.

A very unconventional tactic indeed
