    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).
