The 1960s produced a lot of foriegn movies. Most of wich were westerns and ww2 movies. Most of wich could not even get a B rating. This is one of them. It was not all that unusual for a lot of ww2 movies to use our tanks that looked close to the ones that the axis forces used. The reason they did this was that most of the axis tanks were either sitting at target ranges, wich is not that uncommon after a war, or they were being studied. This is one of those crapy movies that not even I could watch. Sherman tanks were used in all theaters and aften times sold to the resident government. The machine pistols that the paratroopers used were " Grease guns" as they looked like the axle lubing devise used at the time, mostly used by allied tank crews due to their compactability. They are a ww2 U.S designed weopon. MP40s were slightely bulkier. The sound is horrible. The voice overs was out of sink. The first ten minutes of watching this you will realise what is in store for you. Over acting, the actors probably got paid in foodstamps. The personal carriers that they used were arabic of some sort common in the 1960s. The ones that the Axis forces used were a little less bulkier and had more of a slant on the sides. Do not watch this movie if you know anything about anything ww2. As a matter of fact don't even watch this if you know how to spell WW2.

after the first 10 min. i knew that some thing was off. 1.when they were fist droping the lights were different there is no yellow light red means get ready and green means go. 2. the guns the American paratroops were using looked like mp40s which are maded in Germany. i no the movie is from 1969 but that was not to long after WWII

I left comments twice and they never got posted. Is there something wrong with my comments or is it some kind of problem with the posting program.

totally agree with Ned, The story had a lot of potential but the acting and directing failed some cool footage of machinery though. in short if your not a war movie fan dont bother, but if you are a war movie buff then you might as well try and enjoy it.

Poorly directed and written Italian film. Watchable. Could have been so much better.
