The theme song somehow works perfectly for not only this scene but this movie in general. Probably my favorite WW2 movie, particularly given it’s loosely based on a true story.

Nobody loves this song more than I--but the song, music, tone, and lyrics have absolutely NOTHING to do with this movie or the attitude it has. I strongly suspect that the movie's decision makers were as high as kites when they picked the song to open the movie. The strong comedic irreverence by the characters Eastwood, Savalas, Rickles, and especially Sutherland are 180 degrees from than the wistful and sad nostalgia evoked by the song. So no, it doesn't "work" at all, but the song is still wonderful even if it's a head-scratcher for this movie.

I must have been six going on seven when I first saw this back in 1978 but I didn't take much notice of it. Nine years later, however, in December 1987 I remember seeing the film again only a lot fucking more of it, only saw a bit of it a few years later in 1991, the scene where the commander of the Tiger is asked to swing his turret round so that Kelly and his gang could blast the doors open but it was about 15 years ago when I saw the film in its entirety and I was so impressed that I bought the video! If you're never seen it, then you don't know what you're fucking missing! It is just one of the best war films ever fucking made! Mind you, after a few times, it gets a bit samey. Not long after I bought this film I also bought Raid On Rommel which has 1971 written all over it. It's good but it lacks authenticity because the German tanks are just M60 Pattons with balkenkreuzen (the black crosses used on all German vehicles and aircraft) on the fucking turrets and, as for the German half-tracks, they're not fucking German at all!

I was just thinking about this scene. It fits the whole mood so well, and it shows how much of a badass kellys character is. Think about it. He had to sneak across a heavily occupied German town by himself, without getting caught, quietly kidnap a colonal, and then decided to drive an enemy vehicle through their lines into his own, all the the while taking incoming artillery from their own guns. And seeming to not give a f*ck. Bad-ass 😆
