Operation Barras

good shout

you could do a lot of backround work on the history of Sierre Leone and the war there as well

btw have you read the book by Damien Lewis (Operation certain death) about the rescue?

yes, with english subtitles. I found it in the foregin films section at my local blockbuster.

Well on my side of thinking i personaly want to see full metal jacket

A "what if" movie about the Soviet invasion of west Germany/Europe; Battle for the Fulda Gap. I would like to see the story mainly focus on the people (both military and civilian) rather then on the political. No reason has to be given for the war, just the human story from all sides. NOT A RAMBO FLICK!

Yeh I thought about that. Maybe about a NATO soldier who's been taken prisoner, then escaped from a Warsaw Pact POW camp in Western Germany, is concealed by a local suburban or rural family (which is risky for both: The civilians because they could be punished by the occupiers and for the soldier because the civilians could betray him under pressure)...maybe also some form of friendship between NATO and WP (especially West and East German) soldiers/people.
