It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors.

I shouldn't like this film. It's such a bizarre mess with seemingly random editing, writing, accents, acting, cinematography, audio, and more... and yet, at it's close, there was something appealing about the experience. What the hell did I just watch?

it has a pretty bad sound and cutting, but except that it was a surprisingly good movie. I liked the writing but i feel like the scene with the Russian girls was out of place

War is Peckinpah's survival hell.

Out on the Eastern Front 1943, battered by the war itself, a war they are losing, a platoon of German soldiers must also cope with a new aristocratic commander who deeply covets the Cross Of Iron, Germany's highest medal of honour.

Universally hated and panned More

**_Brutal Germans vs. Russians WW2 flick with James Coburn and Maximilian Schell_**

As defeat looms on the Eastern Front, an awarded, but battle-worn German NCO (Coburn) vies with a newly-appointed captain, a Prussian aristocrat, who’s obsessed with obtaining the Iron Cross (Schell), even if he More
