That first one looks like the lovechild of a 109 and a P-40.

gotcha big difference between the two, didn't really notice that in the movie (i wasn't really paying attention that closely to detail, i was just like, oh cool some 109s) , you said that was the one sitting in the hanger? I could have sworn I saw at least one of the damiler benz ones in the movie, maybe im wrong, i just recall seeing that big old air intake pipe or what ever that cylindrical thing is coming out of the side of the engine

lol yeah, i think that thing looks more like a p 40 than a 109. I'm sure they just found whatever 109's they could that were still in flying condition

In the movie, one of the two escorts with the Ju-52s has an original DB engine, so far as could tell.

Just watched the movie on netflix. I think it succeeded as a film. I was pleased with the attention to detail of the nazi party beauracracy and minutiae. Any historical impresicion, and i dont know that there is any, can be forgiven. Because the point of the film can be summed up by one line in the film, "Let's show the world that we are not all like him(hitler)." I'll admit, I did not know that there was a monument in Germany honoring the wwii german resistance, and I bet I wasnt the only one.

I liked the movie.  I didn't know much of the history of it to know if there are historical inaccuracies.  Movies about historical events usually have lots of historical inaccuracies, but I don't mind that unless the stuff they change makes it a worse movie instead of a better one (like the changes made to Enemy At the Gates, for example). 

Yes, the post reopened this old topic, but the topic is about the movie he saw, so it seems the appropriate topic to me.

gibberish!

The officer class was kissing Adolf Hitler's butt when they were winning against the disorganised allies when the allies got organised and ut went pear shaped for the Germans  they turned into turncoats, Staffenburg was a traiter.

The German army committed more genocides than the SS

The film is gibberish like that film the Sound of music, you cant sing and dance while climbing mountains

The JU-52 was worth the price of the ticket alone. I cant remember, its been years, but the P40s that strafed him in the beginning? Were they real or models?

Dont worry, their escape path brings them strait to Berchtesgaden, not exactly the best place to avoid Nazi's.
