A cocky German fighter pilot is shot down over England in 1940 and makes numerous attempts to escape to fight again.

Somewhere Near Nijmegen, a new Irish war movie, has racked up nearly 500,000 views a week after being added to YouTube.

The World War 2 movie was set in August 1944 and followed French Resistance fighter Paul Labiche, played by Burt Lancaster, taking on Paul Scofield’s German Colonel Franz von Waldheim.

Omitting some of the book’s most grim moments, the 1953 film is a documentary-style account of life on a British Royal Navy warship during World War 2 ... with Nazi Germany’s U-boats.
