32. Well a lot of these stories took tremendous liberties with historical reality

particularly BOTRK and the Great Escape - and in case you missed it some elements of Tarantino's Basterds were intended as parody on these classic war films - your insistence on playing it straight instead of seeing the parody is why you found the film so "unfunny".

FYI: I lived in Germany 7 years during the 1970's and grew up in a military family so I've been saturated with military history and particularly the history of WWII and European history.
