Fight On the Bridge Between Resistence Woman and German Soldier


A bit hard to believe that she could throw a soldier off a bridge unless he's supposed to be one of the not-fit-for-combat soldiers that the Germans had to use in France.

Some were unfit for general service but others were not.

it's a movie, not a documentary.

reply

yes but it is not LORD OF THE RINGS,it is based on a book containing the evidence of lots of real life witnesses.

I am against the idea that the Western Allies did not have a tough fight in Normandy,not all the German troops were old men,deaf or with bad stomachs.

reply

The coastal troops and the Panzer units were not old me. The rear elements were. The Resistance were people who trained pretty hard and I have no trouble believing that a woman could have killed that soldier. Nancy Wake did it.

That quote about bad stomachs comes from Horrocks.
