Book Rating
Another history book that reads like a novel, Hasting's is such a good writer. It's really interesting to see another side of WW2, and it demonstrates how much was done in secret. The book covers Bletchley Park, the Cambridge Spy Ring, and other behind the scenes operations, both for and against the allies.

The title of the movie
Flashbacks to WW2
When I first of the film I thought cool title want to watch this when I noticed it was on netflix I had to watch it. won't give too much away plot wise. Sam Elliot is always watchable in anything he's in. Would I recommend the film definitely just on the title alone

Book I recommend to everyone
I've read extensively about WW2 and the Holocaust, both fiction and nonfiction. This is the #1 book I recommend for others interested in those subjects and honestly my top fiction recommendation overall. Great characterization, good pacing, and a tense plot jeep the pages turning. Have tissues handy - I'm not a big crier but this one definitely got to me!

Brutal action
One for John Wick fans
A pretty simple story of man with some gold who some fleeing Nazi's at the end of WW2 try to rob. Except this guy is someone you don't mess with.
The cinematography is great, a very photogenic film especially in the early part. Then it kicks in to bad ass John Wick mode with gory violence. Simple and effective.

Best war movie since saving private Ryan
Towards the end of ww2 allies tanks are dwindling this is a story of one tank who's crew stop german SS crews moving forward .all the feeling of war in a claustrophobic tank brotherhood & desperate measures the Germans would go to keep the foot in the war are in this movie definitely a war movie to watch if not seen it before & to watch again if you have .
