Title: Stuka fans - seen this?

The stukas look cool in this trailer.  Looks to be a decent film... (even though the 'true story' isn't true...  it is still a good story)

For anyone that wants to read the book this movie seems to be based on, it's called "War of the Rats", David L. Robbins, ISBN 0-553-58135-X.  I picked it up on a whim at Chapters and never regretted buying it - money well spent, I say.

Cheers

The movie has NOTHING to do with "War of the Rats."

Both were inspired by the "Enemy at the Gates" book.

The reason the names of the main characters are the same is that they're based on real people. But the movie and its script have nothing to do with the author or content of "War of the Rats."

Really interesting, though; somehow I'd managed not to hear of this movie at all. Did a lot of checking around to see what was up.
