One of my favourites is Quella dannata pattuglia AKA The Battled of the Damned. I have a nice widescreen VHS but no DVD unfortunately. I did see a Russian release advertised (not sure if it is official or not) with English audio but I havenāt been able to find it. The Russian release of Suicide Commandos was also on amazon but someone else grabbed it before me.
Weād be happy to publish a review on the GCDb if youād want to contribute one
Iāll try and review the ones I currently have in my collection.

Music magpie was selling a cheap copy. Had a look at the discs today and the transfers are all terrible. My VHS tapes are better than these. The transfer of War Devils looks watchable but thatās about it. The Desert Commandos transfer is a slight improvement over the UK disc but not much.
Like I said, no surprise there. Idk where Iād get better disc versions of a lot of these films though. Been meaning to look for English friendly euro releases, but aside from the obvious (5 from Hell, the Battle Force disc I got) Iām clueless.
Thereās a lot on Cinemageddon and even You Tube, but official discs are indeed hard to find. The genre has never been as popular as the spaghetti western or the giallo
Yes, Iāve browsed CG, but Iām interested in the discs themselves.
Hi Sebastian,
of course you can publish it on the review site. Frankly I didnāt even remember writing that, itās been 9 yearsā¦
The eurowar genre has been a favorite of mine for decades. Been out of the loop for some time, and not making any promises, but if I find the time in the near future perhaps I can contribute some more info. Used to know a lot about different cuts, good quality DVD releases from around the world, old VHS releases.

Nice review, scherp. Five For Hell is a guilty pleasure.

I got the Code Red DVD of Probability Zero & Sullivanās Marauders today. Unfortunately the case is squashed thanks to the postman forcing it through the letterbox!
