Ideology and the Freedom of Expression
Cross of Iron, my favorite war movie was not imported to Korea in late 1970s, not because of its sex-oriented scene but because scenes of the red army soldiers.
At the time here, everything related to communist countries was completely forbidden in this extreme McCarthyist society.
For example, the famous movie "Sunflowers" starred by Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren could not be imported because it has scenes of buildings and streets of the Soviet Union.
Until late 1980s, mentioning about these things even in private places led to arrest and torture. For instance, in 1987, a teacher who told his friend "The level of democracy in the Philippines is higher than that of Korea" was arrested and dismissed from his school. And a university student who bought a textbook of the Russian language for his study was arrested and severely tortured by the police. We had so many cases like these until 1990s.
More recently, Microsoft war simulation game, Close Combat 3 which deals with the Russian Front in WW2 was not imported because of its cover in which a Russian soldier is pointing his finger. So, I asked my sister in New York to buy and send that.
Today, ideological control like above-mentioned things has weakened to a large degree. They are becoming quite episodes of history. Aren't they funny???

Hallo killchola,
It has been more than 20 years since I saw the film, but a check at http://www.imdb.com
reflects that two women are credited in the cast -- Veronique Vendell and Senta Berger.
Is the woman Veronique Vendell? More information on her can be found at:
http://www.cyranos.ch/sbvend-e.htm
Or is it Senta Berger? More information on her at:

Thank you for your info, but I think she is neither Veronique Vendell nor Senta Berger.
She is shown not in the credit but in a Nazi propaganda movie shot in the prologue in which scenes of Hitler Youth climbing mountains are contrasted with the horrors of war, over which German children are heard singing a Kinderlied. It was my mistake that I told she's shown in the credit.

the body in the road...
My father was in the Pacific. A Navy corpman. (Guan, Iwo Jima, Ie Shima, Okinawa) He didn't talk about the war. Ever.
When I was about 10, my uncle gave me all his war souviners from the war in Europe; bullets, some German army books, the timer fuse for an 88, and a cigar box gull of photographs including a lot of German origin. The photos were totally cool.
One day I asked my dad why he didn't have any cool pictures from the war. His response was simple and straight forward and I never asked the question again. He said, "Because you don't take pictures of men who've been run over by tanks...."
Think about it. A guy is killed during combat. He's dead and in the process of advancing the attack, or saving your own life, you have the choice of running him over OR getting out and moving the body. One body of thousands that are in your way. Afterwards, the ground freezes. And then thaws. Who'se going out there, even after the battle moves on, to retrieve what is now essentially a coat and boots full of broken bones and rotting flesh held together by a leather belt. One of thousands. Ashes to ashes...
War ain't pretty and sure as hell isn't accompanied by the smell of buttered popcorn!
