how to survive a WWII warfilm
« on: June 27, 2007, 02:45:34 PM »
1. don't play the harmonica or mutter wistfully about home (most definitely don't show people the picture of your girl/new born child)

2. If shot but it bounces off your helmet do not then take your helmet of to check, you will be shot in the head again.

3. If someone comes up with a crazy/stupid idea it will work, especially if someone says "its a one in a million chance but it might just work"

4. don't worry about your gun jamming/running out of ammo, this only happens when you opponent also has the same problem

5. All american units will have the following: 1. a hispanic, 2. an irish american, 3. a native american, 4. a mid west farm boy, 5. an itallian american, 6. someone from the bronx (it seems this area of new york supplies the american military with at least 10-20% of their personnel), 7. a southern backwoodsman, 8. an asian, 9. a afro american (note that 3. 8. and 9. it depends on who/when the film was made)

6. All British units will have the following 1. a criminal neredowell who's life changes due to his life in the army, 2. a cockeny generally called ginge, 3. someone who will get a letter telling of woe back home who will escape only to be caught usually at the train station, 4. someone who used to work in the factory where they make the weapons used by the unit, 5. a welshman (called taff), 6. a scottish soldier, 7. possibly an Irish soldier, 8. a harsh Sergeant who in reality likes his men, 9. a plumy officer who thinks his men are jolly good chaps.

I don't have anger issues I just prefer to solve my problems with violence!

7. Never start any sentence with "when I get home...."

8. Do not be on point, or last man, or the radio operator, or the guy with the flamethrower.

9. If you see a group of muddy soldiers coming towards you, do not stand up and wave. Underneath the mud they are wearing German blue.

10. DO NOT attack that panzer with a bazooka. It will kill you. Run at it with a hand granade, or better yet, a can opener. The crappier the weapon, the better your chance of survival.

11. Fix bayonets? What? Are you mad?

12. Don't light a cigarette at any time, especially at night. Snipers, duh.

13. Do not confess to owning a dog back home. You will die just so the director can show the dog pining for you at the train station.

14. If the Japanese commandant asks "who did it" DO NOT PUT UP YOUR HAND.

15. Don't be a nazi

16. If you are a nazi, be the bumbling idiot nazi

17. If you're a sniper remember what your grandfather taught you as a young boy in the Urals

18. You never hear the one that gets ya... how'd they figure that out anyways?

the nazi theory isn't correct, alot of nazis survive WWII movies, although most of those who survive die at the end *points at "Das Boot" <-great submarine movie* let's say more than 99,9% of the nazis in WWII movies survive.

19. Never get out of your foxhole to pee during a blitzkrieg/artillery strike.
20. If a projectile crashes in front of you but it doesn't explode, don't worry, it won't.
21. Never disrespect an order.

24. ALWAYS wear a high yellow hat, it will get shot plenty of times, but you won't, plus it's handy for storing things in.

25 Don't use bayonets in close combat, they are bound to get stuck in someone. sharpened entrenching tools are much more effective and can double as wood-axe and subsequently frying pan in a pinch.
26 Eat any food lying around, after having checked for poison and provided it isn't looking completely unedible, as soon as possible.

27. If there's a sniper around, NEVER! try to look where he is, stay down out of any sight! Unless you're a good guy sniper, those seem immune to enemy snipers and most likely will shoot down this hiding bastard.

Depends on what you store there, if it's a kitten or a puppy it will never even get a scratch, if it's a canteen or a bottle of shnapps... you better have a towel handy
