City Beneath the Sea (1971 film) City Beneath the Sea is a 1971 science fiction television film and television pilot for a proposed series by Irwin Allen. It started as a conceptual 10-minute demo reel as a means to sell the plot and concept to television studios. The concept was not bought initially and a few years later Allen produced a two-hour telefilm for NBC. The two-hour movie again failed to gain the response necessary to be picked up as a series, but has remained a cult favorite amongst sci-fi and Irwin Allen fans. In the UK it was shown theatrically in 1972 as "One Hour to Doomsday". It was released on DVD as part of the Warner Archive Collection.

Panzer ace "Panzer ace" ("tank ace") is a contemporary term used in English-speaking popular culture to describe highly-decorated German tank ("Panzer") commanders and crews during World War II. While not prevalent in World War II within the Wehrmacht, it was at times used by the Waffen-SS to publicise its most successful personnel, as the SS organisation was far more attuned to the propaganda imperatives of Nazi Germany. These commanders were credited with the destruction of large numbers of tanks and other armoured vehicles. The British and United States militaries did not recognise any of their tank commanders for "tank kills" or publicise their achievements, though some were also responsible for destroying a large number of enemy tanks.

Sink the Bismarck! Sink the Bismarck! is a 1960 black-and-white CinemaScope British war film based on the book "The Last Nine Days of the Bismarck" by C. S. Forester. It stars Kenneth More and Dana Wynter and was directed by Lewis Gilbert. To date, it is the only film made that deals directly with the operations, chase and sinking of the battleship "Bismarck" by the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Although war films were common in the 1960s, "Sink the Bismarck!" was seen as something of an anomaly, with much of its time devoted to the "unsung back-room planners as much as on the combatants themselves." Its historical accuracy, in particular, met with much praise despite a number of inconsistencies.
