New German film with decent WSS uniforms

[Matthew T S]

It is going to be a great movie but watch out for these uniforms hitting the market afterwards

I heard they destroyed everything after filming.

mmm... Himmler's ribbon bar is totally wrong! Why they always do that? If you don't know what to put on a uniform, don't put anything. Actually it was more common to see Himmler on pictures not wearing any ribbons at all. I mean all the effort to get historically correct and they make such mistakes which would be easely avoidable.

Ciao,

Urgh!

I was first "exposed" to ribbon bars when I joined this forum (5 days ago ), but even to my eyes it looks rather strange, ie. extremely bad.

Makes me wonder to what degree Joachim Fest was actually involved beyond writing his book "Der Untergang".

We shall see. I've seen most of the major portrayals of Hitler over
the years, but so far for me, the benchmark is Derek Jacoby in
"Inside the Third Riech" with Rutger Hauer as Speer. A great made-
for-TV film, from around 1981.

Claudio,
I totally agree: These film people just cannot do ribbon bars! Remember this thread about Heydrich/Branagh: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ad.php?t=54935
Main decorations correct, but they screwed up the bar!
Besides that, I expect the film to be great. I don't think there can be a better actor than Bruno Ganz playing Hitler.
