It's a real 1950s effort, isn't it? More Indy than WWII

It the number of mag changes that cracks me up, it's the apparently inexhaustible supply of spare mags and bundles of gelly with tripwire/timer devices that they are able to carry in a couple of daysacs.

We drove past the real 'Schloss Adler' on our way to a skiing trip a few years ago (can't remember what it is called). It is actually situated on a small hillock about 100 feet high. No need for cable cars!
