Battle of the Bulge had its world premiere on 16 December 1965 at the Pacific Cinerama Dome Theater in Hollywood, California.

Frankel's music for The Battle of the Bulge has always impressed me, even when I was much younger (back in the 1970s I even paid the then-outrageous price of $20 to get a copy of the original soundtrack on LP--the only film music for which I would have attempted such financial lunacy).

 Question about the movie "Battle of the Bulge"? [Archive] - Military Photos
A lot of stunts and "soldiers" in the movie were spanish recruits.
Other movie I liked very much was the Battle of England, in the 60´s, this was filmed in many aerial scenes in Spain because in that time Spain still kept some Ju-52, M-109 "Buchones"(called Pidgeons, cus they had a bigger engine looking more thick) and H-111, all them in good condition.
But in the contrary, it has some unusual material in other war movies, you can see a german soldier with a stg-44, that was very real in that battle.
