    • Goofs
      German soldiers carry the Yugoslavian M56 submachine gun instead of the MP40. Yugo M56s are basic copies of the German design, but there are subtle but noticeable differences, such as the long smooth barrel.

    War ravages and Luttke plays solitaire
    Wolfgang Preiss, a 2nd reason why i got this plays solitaire while his men die for nothing. I love this movie and watch it every winter on our coldest blustery blizzard day. Unless we have an ugly winter it does not get watched at all. It shows how human the Germans were, how they were not all Nazis. Hitler & the uppers all deserved to die. They had banquets while these men starved & froze. I can't watch it for long usually because it breaks my heart to see them suffer. However i got this for Horst Frank, Wolfgang Preiss, Wilhelm Borchet, Joachim Hansen and Rev. Busch later became a goon after i saw this. He's so sweeet. Somehow garnished the nickname Busch-Busch but one of my sweetest German actors.
