Rating: Null/10 (9 February 1999)

The dozen or so American soldiers were able to take out so many Germans was because they a) had the element of surprise on their side, b) knew the terrain of the battle field, c)had a pre-concieved plan of attack. Although the Germans probably had a few more years fighting experience, the Americans were also not without experience. Remember, at that point in the war, the Americans had been in the thick of it for a couple years too. The scenario of a small number of troops fighting well against a larger army has been repeated numerous times throughout history. I see no reason to think the final scene was all too unbeliveable.
