And I'll repeat that with links. James Lileks agrees with me about the music for Where Eagles Dare:

Okay: red meat: "When Eagles Dare" is out on DVD! It’s notable for many reasons – Clint Eastwood appears to reduce the German army by 8 percent, for example. The fight on the cable car is still a nail-biter. Dick Burton cashes his paycheck with particular pleasure. But what I really love about this movie is the theme, which is perhaps the best 60s WW2 theme, period. I bought it for 99 cents at the downtown Fargo Woolworth in the cutout bin. Haven't heard it for years. I could sing every note.

Jawohl (sp).

However, as a wise commenter at the Barnes and Noble site linked to above reminds us, and in particular reminds anyone who is thinking of having another war against Germany, killing Germans is not actually as easy as this film makes it appear.
