Where Eagles Dare	comment	Where Eagles Dare is a seminal 1967 novel by Alistair MacLean (who also wrote The Guns of Navarone). The following year it was made into an action thriller film directed by Brian G. Hutton and starring Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood, Mary Ure, Patrick Wymark, Michael Hordern, Donald Houston, Ingrid Pitt and Anton Diffring. It follows in the footsteps of The Dirty Dozen and The Guns of Navarone as part of a then-new trend in war movies toward eschewing historical accuracy in favor of flashy mowing-down-Nazis action and a high "Holy Shit!" Quotient, the better to appeal to a younger generation of moviegoers.The plot: during World War II, seven Allied commandos are dropped behind enemy lines in the German Alps, ostensibly to find and rescue a captured American general who's a key player in the plans for D-Day. However, after two of the group's members are killed and the local Nazis are alerted to their presence, it becomes clear to them—and the viewer—that there's a traitor in their midst. Is everyone in the team who they appear to be? No. Can the team accomplish their mission against all odds? Just watch 'em. And how many Nazis can be killed in just one castle anyway? A lot. (Although that missed a few.)As with any film involving shady deals and double crossing, spoilers ahead.

Where Eagles Dare / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Where Eagles Dare / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: McLean's novel is considerably less violent than the movie. While plenty of people still get killed in the various shootouts and Christiansen and Berkeley still die in the cable car fight, McLean has the commandos non-fatally disable most of the Punch-Clock Villain Nazi guards they encounter. Most famously, Smith rescues a radio operator he'd tied up earlier from burning to death, and, instead of shooting all the high-ranking Nazis at the dinner table, he and Schaffer just inject them with a drug which knocks them out.

Where Eagles Dare / int_16dda55f	type	Simple Solution Won't Work
Where Eagles Dare / int_16dda55f	comment	Simple Solution Won't Work: Played with. When the team is being assigned to rescue General Carnaby from the heavily fortified Schloss Adler to stop the Nazis being able to prize the key details of the upcoming D-Day landings out of him, Christiansen asks why go through such a risky mission when they could instead have a squadron of Lancaster bombers reduce the entire fortress to rubble thus ensuring the information stays secret. Admiral Rollo bluntly tells him that deliberately killing the American general would lead to severe repercussions from the outraged American military. However, the whole event is in fact a staged front to route out the double agents that have infiltrated British intelligence.

Other than Smith, the only one he knows is loyal is Schaffer — who, being American, is an outsider; he doesn't know which of the others are loyal. Part of the overall plan is to expose the traitors.

Smith and Schaffer hop on the roof of the cable car as it ascends so they will be able to infiltrate the castle undetected. Schaffer nearly falls from the frozen and slippery roof of the cable car station upon arrival. As he's holding onto his ice axe, Smith takes his hand just in time. In the climax, there's a lengthy fight inside the cable car as the heroes escape, complete with jumps between two crossing gondolas and Smith fighting Nazi agents Christiansen and Berkeley on top of it. The movie's posters embellished it also.

(Although it doesn't go as planned.) Smith's treatment of Christiansen, Thomas and Berkeley after they're outed as Nazi spies is quite cold. Sure, they're traitors, but the manner in which he uses and disposes of them after they're of no further use to him is pretty ruthless, such as sacrificing Thomas to distract the pursuing Germans, and kicking a begging Christiansen off of the cable car. Then again they did murder two of the Allied commandos sent in at the beginning of the mission and tried to cover it up. Not to mention for treason, they'd be executed anyway.

World War II Germans did have helicopters, most notably the Flettner 282 "Kolibri" and the Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 "Drache", but they looked nothing like a Bell, weren't used to transport officers and never reached mass production. Why has an airfield deep in Nazi Germany got half a dozen North American T-6 Texans sitting on the tarmac? The only possible explanations is that someone thought they looked a bit like the Focke-Wolf 190 and couldn't get hold of appropriate replicas.
