Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Hartman picks up the receiver and answers him, 'He's dead, Major.' How could he know that Krüger was a Major when the latter didn't mention his rank when Hartman answered? [Lt Hartman (and the audience) hears The Major say, "Sgt Bekeridge, Sgt Bekeridge, this is Major Kruger" before Lt Hartman says " He's dead Major"]
