SAS Rogue Heroes

[BlueMoonday]

Save your time and watch "All quiet on the Western front" on Netflix. No romance involved or glorification of war. Just a tragic masterpiece which best reflects the horrors of war.

What a load of confected made up load of bollocks. The only accuracies I could discern were the location and the names of the main protagonists.

Shame - i was going to watch this. The story doesn't need anything added but then i guess they have to add something to make it a dramatisation.

Its a story drama....love the punk songs too

It's ok

The documentary series it's based on is showing in all 3 parts on bbbc4 now. Great factual series by author/journalist Ben MacIntyre, really touching archive interviews with veterans including Stirling filmed in the 1970s/1980s.

When he got back to London after his stint in Colditz he stated that on the second night he mentioned 'roger'? Funny thing, I never heard the name in any of the three episodes, There was a Paddy, a Jack, and a parachuting padre, but not a roger!

After the description of how he saved that bunch half way up the road I wondered whether Paddy received a VC. Three DSOs apparently and probably more than enough to warrant a VC, but he might have had the wrong kind of accent or drank the wrong kind of liquor.
