Lugers in Movies-der Phoney Baloney

Lots of them (war movies at least)on this weekend for Memorial Weekend! I thought about my dad and his service to our country in the Army Infantry in WWII, in the Coast Guard and National Guard. I watched "Where Eagles Dare" the widescreen version today and enjoy the scenes where General Carnaby (actually a Coporal Cartwright Jones) was following Eastwood, Burton through the Castle with the late Major Von Hapen's Luger. The way it pointed and was quickly aimed back and forth was great! Another Movie I really enjoy was Battle of the Bulge! Great Tank scenes, though the tanks per NOT period correct I believe and NO RECOIL when they fired looked a little phoney baloney to me! Thor
