The reason Kubrick had to use Germans, the French wanted nothing to do with the making of the film. The French government would not allow the film to be filmed on French soil! The film was an unwanted reminder of the French Army's mutiny in 1918. Not covered, of course by many non-French, and almost no, French military histories!

Mutinies happened in 1917 mostly and they are not what many (maybe including you) think they were. Only a few men were executed in the most extreme cases. The mutineers did not leave the trenches or rebel, they just refused to go over the top until the higher ups figures ot what they were doing. They fought the germans and did not let them advance despite the mutiny. And this subject is not taboo, at least not anymore, in France. The main problem with the mutinies is how foreigner blow it out of proportions because of their lack of knowledge

@@silasmerzenich That is absolutely not true. The failure of the Chemin des Dames and the fall of Nivelle is a known event. Of course during war time it was propaganda, like in all armies, and after the war people preferred to remember Verdun rather than the chemin des Dames but still it wasn't forgotten or erased. See the thing is that WW1 traumatised France at a level that is mostly incomprehensible for foreigners due to the sheer uniqueness of it. French people dont have the same relation with this war as the British, germans or even americans have. When we think of WW1 we think of the deaths, the countless death and the silence that fell over France when these men never came back home. A bitter feeling. No pride in winning, no pride in losing an entire generation of the bravest men. Just thankful that it is over and the fear of it ever happening again. It is not shame, it is remembering with respect and just acknowledging things without mentioning them because each family suffered enough already

Many movies about things that happen in war are dumbed down because the actual events are “too unbelievable”. I remember hearing about a British movie where they had the guy the movie was based on present as an adviser, the actor was supposed to duck and weave behind cover through a firefight to get the other other side of the street, only problem? Dude was playing a WWII British Officer and that’s not how they were trained to act, so the actual guy said that a real British officer would have just calmly jogged across the street, the director laughed him off thinking he was just trying to glorify his deeds and the army but that all said, it’s true, the Brit’s trained their officers to be fearless to inspire their men and the British officer corps had notably higher casualty rate because of it

"Despite our overwhelming superiority in men and hardware numbers, the french troops are counter-attacking in several places. I can't understand how those soldiers, sometimes fighting at one versus ten, can find enough strength to assault us: this is simply amazing ! I see in those french soldiers the same energy than with the veterans of Verdun in 1916. For several days now, hundreds of bombers and guns are pounding the french defence. But, it's always the same thing: our infantry and panzers can't break through, despite some local and ephemeral successes. The french high command has very smartly set up his troops and artillery. I fear that the Dunkirk operation could be a failure for all of us: almost all the BEF will escape, because a few thousands of braves block the path to the sea. That's distressing, but that's it ! Dunkirk brings the proof that the French soldier is one of the best in the world. The french artillery, already dreaded in 1914, demonstrates once more its efficiency. Our losses are terrifying: numerous battallions have lost 60% of their men, sometimes even more ! By resisting ten days or more to our much bigger forces, the french army has accomplished, in Dunkirk, a superb achievement that you must pay tribute to. They have certainly saved Great-Britain from the defeat, by allowing the British professional army to reach the English coast." _ Georg Von Küchler, General of the XVIII Wehrmacht Army, War Diary.

“The prolonged defense of the French garrison played an important role in the reestablishment of British troops in Egypt. From the outset, the Free French seriously disrupted Rommel's offensive. The supply of supplies to the Afrikakorps was severely affected. The increasing concentration of the Axis to pierce this abscess saved the British 8th Army from disaster. The delays brought by the resolute resistance of the French increased the chances of the British to recover and facilitated the preparation of a counterattack. In the longer term, the slowdown in Rommel's maneuver enabled British forces to escape the planned Axis annihilation. This is how we can say, without exaggeration, that Bir Hakeim facilitated El-Alamein's defensive success. " _ British historian Ian Playfair, on the Battle of Bir-Hakeim in 1942.

Realistically, movie scenes like these are more or less how the military trains. So having 3 years of service under their belts just meant this scene was just another day in the office for them, and were probably just doing what they were taught to do.

I. Can just imagine him yelling on set : No, you're supposed to be French.You're supposed to act like cowards. And One of the extras telling him actually , the french fought quite valiantly and determinedly. And Stanly just going that's all fine and well for the history books , but we're trying to make a movie here

There's a great shot in the very beginning when Kirk Douglas is walking down the trench before they go over the top. It's right when he puts his whistle into his mouth that a pyro goes off in the background in a dirt clod bounces off his helmet and hits the camera lens. When I saw that on the big screen it was amazing that I seen it on TV plenty of times. But then I watched it on much bigger screen and it was such a cool mistake, but it brought you into the shot like nothing else I've really ever seen.
