Two of the main characters are from the 101st Airborne Division, and were supposed to have been fighting on the Elsenborn Ridge, which is on the north edge of the Bulge. In fact, the 101st was a couple of hundred miles to the rear on 16 December 1944, the day the German attack began, and was never near Elsenborn. The Malmedy Massacre took place on 17 or 18 December 1944, long before the 101st got to Bastogne. See more »
Saints and Soldiers is a quite powerful movie. It has a very human side, although the idea is not very unique.

The movie has a good visual narrative construction. It is worth being seen.
The main idea is that, behind the soldier uniform there is a human being.
