    It will bring the bravery and ingenuity of those involved into the conciousness of a new generation who have no knowledge of the raid whatsoever, and that can only be a good thing.

    It will be a travesty if the film is judged solely on the merits or otherwise of the dogs name!
    Yes I think so too.. and had the name not been changed for may that is exactly what would have happened.. IMO it was common sense.

    Also .. I was watching this thing about the T-34 on the history channel the other day.. and it occurred to me that based on the previous work of Weta studios.. it would be so much easier now to do WWII war stories with the correct equipment.. vehicles etc.. Based on what they did with Avatar they could use a golf cart.. and digitally change it to an authentic Jeep (Not that they would have to.. ) or any vehicle.. I'd love to see films based on WWII & WWI for that matter with vehicles that looked historically correct.

    I hear you. Maybe we're too close to the past if that makes sense. A lot has happened since 1943.
