This is another one that's straight from the dung heap. I'm sure that it was written by a high school student who had no idea of what combat, or even the military, was like during World War II. Honestly, at the 20-minute mark, it was obvious that there was no point in enduring this film any longer, because the story could not possibly become plausible.
First, there's the prevalent use of the F-word, which was literally nonexistent during WW2. It's put into WW2 movies by script writers who don't know much about WW2 and don't know any other words for characters to use to express themselves forcefully.
Second, there's the lone German officer with his girlfriend, who decides that it's a good idea to use his sidearm to launch an attack on a fully equipped American heavy infantry squad.
Third, let's talk about the American soldiers addressing a corporal as "sir." On second thought, let's not. Of course, a sergeant, if there isn't a staff sergeant, would be in command of an infantry squad anyway, so maybe the guys were already confused, like the script writer.
Fourth, the corporal makes two of the squabbling squad members drop and do push-ups on the side of a road to punish them for bickering, as if it's basic training all over again.
Fifth, speaking of that road, the squad had just walked down the middle of it in two columns, with everyone pretty close together, obviously feeling pretty safe in enemy territory amongst the hills and trees.
Just like with me watching the movie, there's really no point in continuing this review. The script is totally unrealistic, and it's just not worth seeing.
