ManateeGag: so, there's a whole other front to deal with.

Perhaps if he set it in Nanking, or Manchuria he could avoid all of that controversy.

/May something about a lovely stroll on Bataan?

Well, considering that half the war was in the Pacific - far from Nazis, Jews, and Poles - it shouldn't be too hard.

I guess no 'Springtime for Hitler'?

What is wrong with Europe? First the French take away kids Ketchup and now this!!!

There's nothing worse than someone Godwinning your play's opening night.

WWII: The Musical...

Springtime, for Bach-mann and Rom-ney!

While they're at it, "Listen, don't mention the war!"

Well, except for a brief appearance by some visiting Reich officers, the Captain America movie became damn near 100% Nazi free.

Punch was served! Check with poland

Where will they get Producers for that?

No YOU'RE a Towel: Fair enough? Well no, because Tinson's play was to have been a recreation of the Castle's rich history, which included a prominent role in the defence of England's coastline during the Second World War.

Ummm, I'm no warfare expert, but how much defense could a 16th-century castle have provided in WW2? I mean, they aren't using archers and spearmen.
AAh, but the Brits had Angela Lansbury

Germany kicked a lot of ass, and then they lost. Also, Japan.

"Heres the story,
Of a dude named Hilter,
Who was dreaming of a fascist totalitarian regime to rule over the Earth for a thousand years and crush the hated mud peoples once and for all!"
Du-da-du-da-da!

If his goal was to make a play about the role of a certain castle in the war, but he can't mention the events of the war, that kind of handicaps his ability to be authentic. I see how this is bad.

However, if you were writing a WW2 play that wasn't so topical, it would be possible to avoid mentioning those things.

I haven't done any research into this specific castle, but a castle in Cornwall could've been a radar station or radio communication station for the convoys coming over from the US. It might also have served as a training ground, a rehab center for the wounded, or an intelligence center.

The Japanese beat the Italians after they invaded Russia to retrieve the Holy Grail. The French were defeated soundly by the Dutch at Pearl Necklace Harbor. England went full retard. The End.

That headline reminds me of an assignment in 8th grade English class. While reading the Diary of Anne Frank, our teacher assigned us topics to write a 3 page essay about. She gave me topic of "World War II". I condensed the entire war down to 5 pages and was given an almost failing grade with the comment "not enough detail" written on the front page.

/Still bitter about that.

Nobody said it had to be a "serious" play.

Since he has to skip the "other" main characters, maybe he could focus on the goofiness of the remaining heroes?

Comedy skits are ever bit as fun as dramas.

So make a movie about the villainous French defending Morocco from the heroic American liberators.

It's now a play about a young, swarthy man named Weigard farking his way through the young widows of the Third Reich.

A high German officer whispered into Hitlers ear, "Hey, you know Russia. Unconquered. They say... it's unconquerable. And that in 50 years the women will be smokin' hot. All we know is, IT'S CALLED THE STIG!

The forgotten front, and the most brutal European fighting outside of Stalingrad.

That's easy

I've been to Pendennis a couple of times. Down towards the sea from the main walls are a couple of bunkers with large artillery pieces in them, and it's well situated to cover the harbour in case of a naval landing.

This is blasphemous.

The harbour in question being Carrick Roads, one of the best deep water anchorages on the south coast.

Why not? Quentin Tarantino made a WWII movie without using any references to actual history; anything's possible.

Well, they could just adapt the book version. It's called the "Harry Potter" series. You may have heard of it.

I bet he did Nazi that coming.

Well just move the castle to the pacific and the rest of the story writes itself

mitchcumstein1: GAT_00: No YOU'RE a Towel: I mean, they aren't using archers and spearmen.

Are we playing Civ III?

Eventually modern armor will wear them down.

Funny.....I won the Space Race as the Persians and Japanese in either of those. And had nukes as the Dutch by 1950...and used them. How ya like me now??????

League of their own? No nazi's in that one

Castles were used a lot in WWII for fortification. One that stands out that I have visted is the Brest Fortress in Belarus. The museum is awesome.

I was thinking something gay... or is that Gallic? I get those two confused at times. Anywho, I was thinking something to do with the boys on the line, their shared fears and how they dealt with them :)
