Movies and Films
This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>Yes, the IWO survives fairly unscathed in the film, where he is last seen holding the badly wounded Bootsmann in the bunker, passed to him from Schwalle who goes off to find a medic.
Dufte and the cook also seem unharmed, along with (as Meg said) the LI and Pilgrim, though Frenssen looks in a bad way. Ario is last seen skidding and dropping the wounded Hinrich, though I have fears that the very small double take Werner does as he leaves the bunker, at an object through the smoke, may be at their bodies.
After intensive counselling and running the sequence hundreds (please Meg, not quite zillions, people will think I'm obsessed or something:-) ) of times, I am just about beginning to be reassured that the lovely Kriechbaum, my absolute favourite character, makes it through in his ambulance (can't see it burning anywhere ), and home safely to his little boys and their sled - though I shan't really believe it until Wolfie Petersen gives me his personal guarantee on the matter in writing. Maybe I better just go and check one more time, in case I missed it....
