Audience Member Slightly dated account of a unit of American soldiers advancing on German troops in World War II. Mixes in some stock footage of the war and shows German troops often attacking in suicidal fashion. Overall, not a bad account for the time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Young soldier is dispatched to the front lines of WWII Europe and must cope with life on the battle grounds. Eagle Crest Video has spared no expense in restoring this dated and forgotten war film for home video market. A handful of recognizable stars appear. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
