Yes, fairly intense. As I understand it, the Netherlands always had sort of a bad reputation in Europe for having cooperated too much with the Nazis during WWII.

A bit of glider flying. I think in the main scene had he the yoke the wrong way given the damage and direction of bank. Oh well.

Was it computer generated, like the Battle of Britain or Dunkirk or whatever recent movie they was they gave the Spitfire a hundred mile gliding radius?  Smh. Those thing are almost unwatchable any more. Same with the Pearl Harbor movie. The only thing has bad as the CGI airplane scenes was having Ben Affleck in that movie.

It was CGI and unrealistic in many ways. Still fun to watch.
