I can see Jack Hogan who was as Kirby with BAR in TV show Combat in 1960s ,who had participated in Korean War, for which I thank him because he had saved South Korea against communist army and makes me watch this movie lying on my bed .

And how dense were these guys that they couldn't understand that their little playtime with Cowboy wearing a complete German uniform and holding an fully automatic weapon on his pals while they stood there with arms in the air set up a perfect situation for Charlie or anyone to do exactly what he did. And instead of realizing that their horse play in a very hostile location was what got Cowboy killed.

I have tried a few times to watch this film, and every time I get put off by the poor continuity and props departments, this wasn’t made long after WWII ended so I would have thought the uniforms and equipment would have been readily available, from the very second they landed I only saw one magazine change, not that they had the webbing to put much in anyway. I will try again and see if I can watch until the end.

Some way of maker are most real and some others are most Comedy with a real second story inside and i love it !

I've never seen this one it was pretty good.

This jump was made by the 509th Parachute Infantry Bn. The 509th made a 1500 mile flight from England to North Africa to take part in Operation Torch. They mad two jumps within a week’s period. The first jump was accomplished enroute from the 1500 mile flight. Can not imagine the fear and fatigue of making a jump into the unknown after a 1500 mile flight in crowded, noisy and cold C-47s!

Why are they all carrying Thompsons? Because it's a movie from American-International (home of teenage werewolves and giant cucumbers bent on conquering the world), and it's aimed at kids, teenage boys overrun with pimples, and young men classified 1-A by General Hershey, and it only runs 70 minutes! They didn't have time to shoot M1's. Saw it when I was 7 with my dad on a double feature with SUBMARINE SEAHAWK at Boston's legendary Mayflower Theatre, and thought it was absolutely GREAT!

No, as long as sighted correctly and are enough of an expert, I say this because to simulate James Cagney being shot at in early gangster films, professional sharpshooters with Thompsons would fire at, rather right next to him and strike the wall with real bullets, instead of blasting cap effects, and they were doing it from about 50 yards away

Yes. There were two actually. They were by the 509th Parachute Infantry Bn under Edson Raff. The 509th flew from bases in England and made the 1600 mile flight to North Africa for the first jump. They took off as the 503 PIB and were re-designated literally in flight to the 509th. Believe this was done to prevent confusion with the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment-a completely different organization assigned to the Pacific. In addition to the two jumps into North Africa, the 509th later made jumps in Avellino Italy and Southern France as part of the 1st Allied Airborne Task Force. It would later fight as infantry during the Battle of the Bulge. Raff would go on to command the 507 PIR. The 509th colors were resurrected as a full brigade with the 8th Infantry Division in Germany during the Cold War and then again as an Airborne Battalion Combat Team in Vicenza Italy in 1974. Today the 509th colors fly with a Bn in the 25th Infantry Division
