Quote:Rome fans also note Ian McNiece, the announcer, appears as a portly German General!
Never realised until I saw the credits that David Bamber who played Cicero in 'Rome' was Hitler!!!
If the film was historically accurate would anyone know who was the Rommel like General killed in the beginning?

Quote:One surprise: in the film all the security at the Wolf's Lair compound is handled by the German Army -- I had always thought it was the responsibility of the Waffen-SS. Now the film makers have trumpeted their exhaustive research and quest for historical accuracy, so I can only assume that they are correct about these security arrangements...but I still have my doubts.
I do not have many books on the subject but one I do have say's this was indeed the case. Perhaps then the camo cover I spotted was in fact another mosquito net! Nevertheless given the level of security I was surprised that no one bothered to search through the briefcases first!
