Goofs

The armored tracked vehicle that accompanies the unit is often referred to as a tank in the film; the vehicle is an M36 Gun Motor Carriage, designated a tank destroyer, visibly different from regular tanks due to their open top and thin armor. Tank destroyers would be called as such in US practice.

User Reviews

This is the dumbest war movie I had ever saw

I mean, how can you do anything worse than this? A bunch of G.I. running around with rifles not knowing what to do, matched by a equally idiotic bunch of German with an idiot as a major who wanted to get important information from an ordinary private. Plus a good looking nun who got panicky at every turn of events, an old nun who had to step on a mine and two kids who ran around in a battlefield like they were in an amusement park! And the tanks! Oh God, you would think they could only shoot at point blank, and miss! I just cannot understand who would invest money into making such kind of crap.

And what is more, the whole time the weather was just perfect and there was not a single American plane in sight. Guess that is why the German can afford to take it easy and hang their clothes out to dry.

Anyway, if you want a love, watch this movie.
