OPERAÇÃO CROSSBOW (USA, 1965) - Movie's basic outline concerns the development of the German V-1 and V-2 weapons and the subsequent allied attempt to infiltrate the underground factories at Peenemünde, where most of these these so-called `Vergeltungswaffen' ('revenge' weapons) were assembled. This movie is based on historical events, as the character of Hannah Reitsch, played by Barbara Rütting , was a real-life person. Reitsch was a German aviatrix and Adolf Hitler's personal pilot at one time. During the Battle of Berlin, Reitsch attempted to persuade Hitler to escape from the city in a small lightweight Fieseler Storch airplane. George Peppard and Sophia Loren almost get together, which is no spoiler. Looke.
