Following on from the latest Dambusters thread, there was a suggestion to start a new one with ideas for previously "Unknown" or "Unmade" stories.
So far we had Amiens raid & Copenhagen Gestapo raid.
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your wish list.....

Has Hans von Werra's story ever been filmed? If so it must have been years

It is certainly a great story.

The Battle of Kursk. Another Stalingrad film, perhaps tracing a Russian

conflict. Maybe something about the Blitzkrieg from a civilian's
perspective?
