I was kinda wondering that myself, since I previously complained about the surge of obscure WW2 movies (foreign ones that few have ever seen in this country).

I'm kinda tired of multiple pages where the only entry is ....

German Soldiers used MP40s.....

Whoopeee doo! Like that's NEWS or something. But I suppose the fans of WW2 or war movies in general will howl in protest. I figure really cool screen grabs (or really high quality ones) will make the page cool to look at.

Personally the only thing I get excited about now, when viewing a period War movie is when they use a Historically accurate firearm that is rarely showcased in films. Like the SVT-40 Tokarev or weird handguns. It's funny when the most gun ignorant viewer knows or recognizes the German MP40 (erroneously calling it a "Schmeisser", even though everyone does....) so much has this design seeped into the public consciousness....
