It's literally the perfect campaign road map for a game about the eastern and western fronts. You've got American equipment, French rebellion equipment, stolen German equipment for the escape segments, and Russian equipment. You've got basic action levels, parachute segments, stealth levels. A huge diversity and variety of levels. It's the perfect game.

[@piragintheevercorpulent1526]

The "fighting on multiple fronts" thing reminds me of *Medal of Honor: European Assault*, where you (an OSS operative) fight alongside the British in France (the St. Nazaire Raid) and North Africa, then alongside the Soviets in Russia, and finally alongside the Americans in Belgium (the Battle of the Bulge).

I’ve read the book and it gives very good references, but I want more. I swear by Jesus if a movie or show isn’t made by the time I’m 25, I’ll make the damn thing myself.

"The biggest oh shit moment in history" classic. This would be one of those screen plays people think is fiction.

[@Axquirix]

I mean, probably two big parts of why there hasn't been a movie made of his life would be because this is a lot of content to fit into one movie which would probably necessitate a series (a training and western front, POW and escape, eastern front and home trilogy might work quite well actually), and also that the Cold War was a thing and making a movie about a man who fought alongside the Red Army would probably not be a popular move. This is definitely a story I would like to see recognised and explored more in the modern day, though, and I hope Joe Beyrle comes to greater public recognition soon. We're coming up to the 100th anniversary of the war in the near-enough future, so maybe it'd be a good time to start drafting a script soon...
