    Is B - battle of the Bulge ?

    A is it "Operation Crossbow?" No didn't think so, but why is the Czech flag hung up backwards on the wall?

    B is a real photo

    KTiger-506-Captured-Big.jpg
    the description
    This Pz.Kpfw.Tiger Ausf.B, from the 2.Kompanie/schwere Panzer Abteilung 506 was captured by American troops and restored to running condition by Company B, 129th Ordnance Battalion by 15 December 1944.
    im guessing they used a bit of archival footage during the film



    also try searching for cuckoo, a captured Panther used by the british,
    i wouldnt have liked to be near it with the amount of allied air activity.

    Wahey :)

    ok Movie A
    attachment.php?attachmentid=142667&d=1294620650

    Movie B
    attachment.php?attachmentid=142668&d=1294620662

    The clue for B is that both movies are connected.

    These may be a bit tricky.

    So for clues I'll say one of these movies has already been featured.

    Movie B shares a lead actor with movie A.

    Movie B is from the very late 1960's euro cinema & features many main events such as reichstag fire and night of the long knives (as in the pic for movie B).

    Yep. They were both shot at least partly in Italy & A has been mentioned before. A & B share a lead actor.

    A - the name of A is also the name of a very famous song by the band called 'Japan'. Movie A has already been featured in this thread.
