One of the worst WWII movies ever


German who spoke english, ridiculous and full of holes story(¿who were those frogmen then and what were they doing there?), pour dialog and pathetic jokes. ¿Was that hard to find a german speaking actor to play the main antagonist?. Terrible flick...

There's 24 minutes edited out of certain cuts maybe that's why? Idk...

But the point is it's one of the most enjoyably cheesey worst WW2 movies ever made. A classic of it's kind. Your comment sounds like you actually tried to take it seriously.

It's wildly uneven. The humor sucks but the final action scene isn't terribly done.

I loved Telly Savalas's handknitted sweater (about 22 mins in) - very complicated pattern but it must have been boiling on a Greek island!

"In ze Third Reich ve assume everyone is Jewish unless proven otherwise." What a load of toot.
