Definite Correlations to WW2
Haldir

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone, Im glad to be here and to discuss my favorite movies with other intelligent fans.

Bob I totally agree with your response to my post, and you brought up an interesting point about Osgiliath. In almost every way in reminds me of the Battle of Stalingrad, from the close air support of the Nazgul (like the luftwaffe) to the orc/troll artillery and troop deployments (like the vermacht). Even the archers reminded me of the snipers that were prevalent at Stalingrad. But unlike WW2 the allies in TTT dont win this battle, at first anyway.

RE: Grima's Tears I think your sister has the right idea Mr. Underhill, I too can see the logic in that, and like you I cant wait for the extended version in november, hopefully some of our questions will be answered.

Always proud to fight alongside Men,

Hal
