Probably Coburns' best

Rating: 8/10 (1 May 2005)

This was probably James Coburns' best film in my opinion. An anti-war film based on the German perspective. It shows the bravery and dedication many of the Wermacht soldiers unfortunately had to a misguided cause. I was exceptionally impressed with this film despite some of the mid-70's campy filming aspects , but overall the story and plot was solid. I truly enjoyed the comradery story of the film and it truly showed the dedication the men had to one another more than to the cause of the Third Reich. This is a must see film for any war or anti-war enthusiast, and almost at the same level as "A Midnight Clear" (another MUST see). So if you haven't seen this, please do.
