It was funny, that it was the first movie the popped into my mind when I saw that picture. I always remember the scene where man pictured is signaling the next pilot to rev his engines higher before he cuts him lose.

Ok, here is the next one:

Ballad of a Soldier (1959) ?

[KHeitmann]

Ballad of a Soldier (1959) ?

No, sorry. Try again.

Note to Mods: Sorry about all the dupes. Connection problems. I deleted them as quick as I could.

[von thoma]

I Was Nineteen ( Ich War Neunzehn ), 1968.

[KHeitmann]

Yes, that is correct.

"I Was Nineteen", is the story of a German born boy, that flees to Russia when the Nazis come to power. There he joins the Red Army and is put to work as a translator and works in forward area propaganda van trying to convince Germans to surrender.

Your turn.
