    No, not Sophie Scholl. A is a non english language movie from fairly recent years.

    Yep, you got it. B was 'They Who Dare'.

    Clues for A + B
    A= East Europe
    B= North Africa


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,327 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Is A. Katyn and B. El Alamein?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar

    A is correct ( I will have to stop using v easy ones) B is not correct.

    B is a czech movie that I havent seen, I believe it relates to Czech involvement in North Africa (particularly Czech Infantry Btn. 11).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    Another clue for B is 'To Be or not To Be'


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,327 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Tobruk

  • Registered Users Posts: 19,327 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    Yes, but do you know the name of the film?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭roundymac


    It's rattling around in my brain somewhere, can't think of it right now, will probably wake up in the middle of night after thinking of it and won't be able to go back to sleep. It was on the telly again only last week.:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,871 ✭✭✭Corsendonk


    A The Silent Enemy = thats the side of Sid James head
