Re: Anyone seen Passchendaele
Yes I saw the movie focuses on the Canadian contingent, the fight scenes are pretty real and living in mud the whole dam time would have sucked large but there is just too much romance between the lead characters for me.
If you’re looking for Saving Private Ryan movie this isn’t it. If you want to have a better understanding how WWI was fought and could sit through the romance parts it is worth watching.
Here is some write up about the battle.
More than any other battle, Passchendaele has come to symbolise the horrific nature of the great battles of the First World War. In terms of the dead, the Germans lost approximately 260,000 men, while the British Empire forces lost about 300,000, including approximately 36,500 Australians, 3,596 New Zealanders and some 16,000 Canadians from 1915 to 1917. 90,000 British and Dominion bodies were never identified, and 42,000 never recovered. Aerial photography showed 1,000,000 shell holes in 1 square mile.

That's pretty much it. Sort of a Canadian cross between "To Hell and Back" and a teary chick flick.

Just a bunch of stupid British and German generals who lacked imagination and had never heard of maneuver.
