Operation daybreak
I have always loved the original and if you havent seen it,please find it and watch..
It really moved me and i found the simplicity and relatively low budget added to the realism..
But they didn't have subtitles to the German dialogue, which was a huge problem.
shareThe film originally had subtitles for all the German dialogue - the BBC ran the subtitled print several times - but for some reason when it was remastered they didn't include them.
"Security - release the badgers."
The subtitles to the Warner DVD release of Operation Daybreak are readily available now, synched and accurate*
*dunno what the original film subtitles actually were, these are my corrected version of someone elses' work.
I haven't seen Anthropoid yet but Operation Daybreak will be an enormously difficult target to beat - the tension just builds and builds to an almost inevitable conclusion.

Okay, but is there a retail DVD with the subtitles? (any region)

Hello. Replying to an old thread.
The issue of missing subtitles for the German-language scenes of 'Operation Daybreak', on consumer-video releases, has irked me since the 1980's (when the movie was first issued, on the VHS format).
Thanks to translations of the German-language dialogue, which were published on another forum, I have produced a revised subtitle stream for 'Operation Daybreak'.
If interested, feel free to PM me for the .srt file.
Caveat - the .srt file synchs perfectly with the version of the movie I have; but may not synch with copies sourced from any one of a variety of origins.
I read somewhere that the reason behind that was so that you would feel a bit of empathy for the Czechs, You would only understand what the director wanted you to in the same way the Czechs only understood what was translated for them. I got a Korean copy years ago and they tried to add English subtitles but got a fair bit lost in translation.
