[Kraut Killer]

[quote:541b5]Originally posted by Interestedviewer, who is actually quite confused as to what we're talking about:
its the same fuc%&*@ person! How can u guys not see it? Why would he call upham's name before he is shot by him? And dont you see the irony that was set by spielberg? Miller lets him go but he is later shot by him. It plays with the movie. Its the same person! why would the camera focuse so much on him then?? Why would the camera give you good shots of his face? so you can see its the same person! [/quote:541b5]
They are talking about the German soldier who killed Mellish, not Miller, with the knife and then walked past Upham on the staircase. You're thinking of the part where the Kraut shoots Miller. So, as you can now see... they are right, it's not the same guy. Also, if you really take a look at it, there's about 30+ airborne guys there, and they are fairly well supplied, they just said that the mortars may as well be spitwads, even if they had the tubes, if the Krauts rolled up on them with tanks.
