Enjoyable-Not Historical

Rating: 7/10 (8 September 2007)

I understand how upset many people are at the creative license used in this movie. I am very proud to be English/Scottish/and Irish American. The movie DOES give full credit to the HMS Bulldog and her crew, as well as all other British crews who captured Enigma Machines before we did. I certainly think that, in no way, shape, or form was there an intent at stealing the credit from the Royal Navy or the factual dates of British success would not have been put into the film. I am of a mind that, I don't care which Allied country captured the machine as long as one of us did. I also understand (and this IS FACTUAL), that not only were not all Nazis bad, but many hated Hitler and the Third Reich and were genuinely good men (just look at the attempts on the Fuhrers' life). There were U Boats in the Gulf of Mexico and true accounts of U Boat crews giving food and rations to crews of sunken vessels in rafts after sinking their ships. There were also accounts of Nazi sailors coming ashore on American Soil for food and entertainment, while in the Gulf. The bottom line is, the good guys (all allies and Germans who hated Hitler and the Third Reich) won, and freedom-loving people the world over have the veterans of all allied troops and their bravery, courage, and sacrifice to thank for our freedom today.
