Your "perfect" films
The Third Man. I can watch it over, and over and over and always get an emotional connection to it. And, I always see something new.- filfoster

Favorite WWII song? Lili Marleen.
All good tunes. Lili Marlene, Long Ago (and Far Away), White Cliffs of Dover, We'll Meet Again, Foggy Day in London Town my top five in about that order. Love the big band tunes of the Glenn Miller USAAC band. Thirty-plus years ago, annually, we'd visit the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH for... -

MacArthur's Desk
Not to go too far away from the OP on a tangent but I'd offer that p51 isn't alone in his feelings about Mac. He was a complicated character and from my reading, gives haters and fans both enough to grab onto. I didn't think Manchester's American Caesar got too hagiographic but some do... -
Bringing Private Keating Home
AmateisGal and Edward, you've stated truths. The world stopped making much sense to me in 1965. -
Bullion Insignia
Just to pile on this old thread, embroidered insignia goes back to the Continental Army. Washington and other generals wore silver embroidered stars on their epaulettes (although I haven't been able to find any surviving examples of this). Can anybody find out when the Army stopped permitting... -
Jewish PoWs
Reading history for over 50 years, I don't recall much on this. Hope there are some good posts. I've done the obvious Google searches, see, e.g.: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=25690 and not much there either except to suggest they (Jewish POW's) were not immediately mistreated... -
The Natural...Questions
Not to hijack the thread and it's not exactly 'Golden Age' but there' s a lively mystery about the origin of James Dean's red jacket worn in Rebel Without a Cause. The costumer claims he made it (probably); some cast members say they bought it at a local department store for him (possibly) and...- filfoster

The 1939 Timewarp House
There's something to admire in all that, and fear. My employer wouldn't be too keen on my appearing in office in morning dress or a period sack suit. I'd be asked to return home or visit my physician. Did your Victorian time traveler enjoy a private income? -
The 1939 Timewarp House
I can only imagine the difficulty, to which she alludes, finding a significant other who'd share that level of enthusiasm for living in 1939. It's hard enough to find a decent consort without that extra. On the bright side, what a cheap date: snogging by the radio. -
The 1939 Timewarp House
Even more commitment than the participants of '1940's House'. It ended for them, and they could've quit. -

Seperating myth from reality: Nazi secret tech development projects
The observation of US production focused on middle class consumers is very insightful and significant, isn't it? It involves so many related matters of the culture, natural resources and property rights that created entrepreneurship and a middle class large enough to be an appealing market. The... -

Yes, the Alpine Redoubt was a big bluff. -

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
OK, it would be interesting (probably not in this thread on Hitler) to know why it's so bad. Can you message me or direct us all to some online site that explains the show's defects? I did find this on my own... -
Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
I am sorry for that. Not to hijack this thread-we were hunting Hitler here- but I'd be interested in learning how it falls short. It's not presented as literal history but I'd think the basic costumes and culture would be in the ballpark. Is there a blog or online source that dissects it?
