    Not a bad yarn.

    An interesting take on Australians joining the Wehrmacht. As this actually did occur, before the government prevented it; the film offers a different view the events from a light hearted German perspective.

    It shows the main characters doing their recruit training and brought back memories of my own, as there were similarities.

    I had to laugh at the cabaret scene, when the boxing kangaroo had its tail ripped off. It sprayed the people at their tables in sawdust and made them dance about a bit.

    From what it is, how it was made and what it portrays, there isn't anything offensive about it and I enjoyed it.

    • Goofs
      Various grammatical and linguistic errors during the English speaking of Evelyne, who suppose to be an Australian. E.g. "I am only sure about you when we are married", which is translated by the movie inserted Subtitles as "I have you secured when we are married". Or when asking for a room she says "Appartment".
