Sam Peckinpah's only war film follows the story of a doomed German platoon facing annihilation at the hands of the Russians in 1943. Non-Nazi German soldier Steiner (James Coburn) resents the arrival of arrogant Prussian Stransky (Maximillian Schell) as his new commanding officer. Stransky is desperate to win an Iron Cross - a medal Steiner has already earned, but considers worthless - and so promotes the highly-recommended Steiner to sergeant. During a siege, Stransky hides in his bunker, terrified of battle, only to later file a report claiming that he himself led a victorious counter-attack. However, when Steiner disputes this Stransky takes measures to remove him.

  • Superb

    A great war story taken from a Germany point of view . James Colburn as the lead is perhaps the only downside with his American manorisms. The Battle scenes are authentic , and very realistic with proper Russian T34's not some patched up Nato tank to look like one. A great film to watch and own

  • Fits the film exactly.

    I first saw this film back in 1977, as I had read that it was the most authentic eastern front war film. I decided to buy this film for myself as it would seem to be so very popular with war film buffs. Strangely enough when I first played the DVD copy, I could remember the same sequences in the film when watching the original film. I am well pleased.
