Everything Sterling Hayden did was good. He might not have been as famous as John Wayne but he was every bit the man and a real honest to God military hero.

[@formerparatrooper]

I met a P-47 D pilot who lived in Lexington KY, Jerome (Jerry) Wurmser a number of years ago. His daughter worked at the same A&E firm I was employed with. I visited with him several times and he told me of his time in southern France in 1944. These color films were actual combat missions of the two groups I knew about and I had no idea that someone built a movie around those films. Incredible work putting the two together.

I was sadly half asleep watching this one today, and woke up a little when they got to the climactic scene... I noticed a red cross on the hat of one of the pilots of the P-47s right after he launched his flare to alert them- and I remembered where I had seen it- In the movie "THUNDERBOLT!", which was a documentary filmed with the P-47 squadrons in Corsica, one of the pilots, I think it was the commander, wore his girlfriends nurse's cap for good luck! And I realized that shot was from the other movie, or someone had been on the ball and added it to wardrobe for this one...

I met Sterling Hayden in Sausalito California back in the late 70's, by then he pretty much stayed a recluse. He was an interesting character then, you wouldn't recognize him either if you saw him. He had a straggly beard and was showing his age by then.. He was one of the leading actors in the 50's and early 60's.

[@Cactus521]

Great movie... My paternal grandparents were from Potenza, Italy, to the east of Naples, and came to the US before the outbreak of WW1.. I have visited Italy eight times, working there once in Bologna. As I write this my daughter, now fluent in Italian, is doing graduate study in Siena Italy. The value of the partisans in all of occupied Europe during WWII cannot be understated. Italy for my family is special, as is Britain, Ireland and Lithuania, and also Mexico, where my wife is from. Our common roots and ancestry bind us all together. Remembering that, even though war still goes on today, will give us small measures of peace when times are dark, and light in darkness. Wars end, times change, but the value of history in the old world and new is so important. Even the enemy soldiers from Germany, many conscripts, celebrate the D-Day festivities with their former enemies. WW2 veterans are dwindling as they age and pass on their memories from one generation to the next. We must never forget their sacrifice in liberating the occupied countries from darkness, or the German soldiers who helped at the end of the war find those who were war criminals. One was Colonel von Lindeiner who was commandant of Stalag Luft III (Sagan) in WW2. He was appalled at the execution of 50 of the prisoners who were part of the "Great Escape" and court martial-ed for showing empathy for the prisoners under his command, but survived the war. He doubtless saved lives doing his best to keep allied POW's safe.

[@tedhernandez2394]

Thank you for your story of life. I'm sort of a historian of WW2, and prior. I've read all about the actions to the start of such, political and military. I've read of the atrocities of the German occupation forces upon the peoples of Europe. Something that will never rest with the people who've experienced such. My question,....How could such a intelligent group of people visit horrors upon their fellow man? How could they look at themselves in the mirror and profess they were a kind and compassionate beings? How could they justify their horrific actions? And still deny their complicity to such? To this day? I look at the Germans with suspicion, the Japanese, the Russians, the Chinese. Yes all of the above. I feel that their atrocities from their collective past against their peoples, will surface again. And those previous actions will dictate the future of a more efficient genocide towards the innocents of this world. Oh yes...... This is why history is so important. This is why we must teach our children to pay attention to our collective past. A tough job to accomplish, but something that has to be instilled into the young minds of the future. We cannot continue this depleting of other human beings. Otherwise?...We're done as a peoples of the world. The dogs will feast on our flesh......And they too will perish for lack of food. Not a doomsday person here.....But History has a nasty way of keeping us real. The ones that heed such? May survive....Just.

First of all, thank you so much for posting this movie. I love Sterling Hayden! It would be his 105th birthday on March 26 and today, March 29, is my birthday, so I took this movie as a present. Thank you so much! Whenever I see a picture like this, I wonder what should have passed through his mind, all the memories he had from WWII in Europe, places and people. I wish I could have known Mr. Hayden - I admire the actor and even more the writer - his two books are amazing (and Lee Mandel´s "Sterling Hayden´s Wars" is great too!). Sailor, actor, writer... I think he was very ahead of his time. Greetings!

57FG, 65FS P-47's in the beginning. HunHunter. A man I knew in 1990's in Santa Rosa, CA was a pilot in this squadron. One, if not the oldest. Ed Ellington. They called him "Duke". He had been CO of the 65FS for a while towards latter part of the war in Europe. I flew with him once in his Cessna 150 airplane. Low and broken cloud ceiling, raining in parts. Up about 700' or so for quite a while. Being a pilot myself I knew it was nuts to be out flying VFR in that kind of weather. Ed wasn't fazed at all.

[@rocketeerPM2500]

Awesome story. "Duke" was apparently one of those 'seat of the 'pants' flyers for whom the aircraft was an extension of himself. A rare breed who fly by instinct.

Great to see a movie that the actor who is one of my favorite of all and that he was able star in one of his actual reL life jobs in world War two Sterling Hayden was an American special intelligence office how help and organized partinzens in Yugoslavia to hit and disrupt Germans in real life and was decorated. It's great to see him get to act out what he did during the war. Sterling Hayden is a true American patriot, but sad to know in his last years of his life he became hook on hash I guess thr war nightmares became to great for him but he did leave us with great movies and books on his hobby of sailing boats, thanks for posting this movie now it's complete to see him actually act out what he really did during the war for he entered after leaving Hollywood to serve our country America the beautiful then came back to Hollywood and pick up making movies.

I have been a WW2 enthusiast since I can remember. In Peru, South America, where my mother is from, she once saw a German Captain trying to negotiate a port for the base of his UBoats. She imagined a secret place to hide such subs after raiding Allied cargo. Luckily the government was pro-United States and denied such a request. There was the expected give and take between Hitler's naval command and the Congress of Peru. But in the end, the Germans relented. This happened in Tumbes Town where my mom grew. After listening to such an account I grew interested in the conflict that involved the whole world. I watched movies, collected books, and listened to recorded books about the Pacific and European theater. I honor the memory of those valiant men and women who served to thwart the menace of a crazed demagog. Their just sacrifice must never be forgotten!

Its ironic that when they made these movies there was tons of leftover planes, ships tanks and what not that it was probably pretty easy to put together. Today if it wasn't for CG they couldn't even begin to make them. Having a lot of actual combat footage makes them even better.

[@Debbiebabe69]

'Its ironic that when they made these movies there was tons of leftover *ALLIED* planes, ships tanks and what not'. Its the complete opposite for German and Japanese vehicles. Since we won the war, its a simple conclusion that we destroyed most of them in combat, and the few that were left over were usually trashed to stop them getting used against us. From using allied cruisers as the Graf Spee, Yamato, and Bismarck, to the myriad of films featuring 'Tiger' tanks that actually used T34s and Pattons (only 2 films have every used real running Tiger tanks, the well known 'Fury' and a little known British film from a few years after the war), film makers have always had to improvise when it comes to Axis war machines. I suppose that is a HUGE advantage of this film, since you never see any German planes, they never had to improvise because, as you say, *Allied* planes were plentiful at that time.....
