Already mentioned. It was a good one though.

I wouldn't put Kellys Heros on the list of good war movies.

I can't remember the movie for the life of me . I just happened to catch the last 20 min or so the other night.

Film is in b/w setting German prison camp. At the end of the movie they hide a prisoner in the water tower or let him be turned over to the ss.
The guy in charge of security was a German plant. The prisoners then use the plant as a decoy so they can get the guy in the water tower out of the camp.

Any remember this movie.
It may not be the greatest but it was enjoyable.

Kelly's Heroes is a great flick, just because it is funnier than most war movies (even The Longest Day had some good laughs in it) doesnt make it bad.
Cool it with the negative vibes, man

people are breaking the 'three movies' rule:furious
