I am an avid war film watcher. The acting in this film is one of the worst I have seen. Helmets that don't fit and over their eyes, shooting from the most ridiculous positions you can imagine, and a pillbox that apparently can fire bullets that come back and it the wall below from slot they are firing from /facepalm
Then there is 5 soldiers that take out a farmhouse without being noticed by the obs point in an upstairs window, despite crossing a 300m open field!
As someone else mentioned German soldiers standing in open spaces in the line of fire waiting to get shot my goodness...
don't waste your time folks.

Worst war film this decade
Usually love, cheesy warm movies, but this was the pits
Saw this movie listed with a couple of actors I like thought it might be a fun movie to watch. This was an insult to my father and my uncles who fought in the second world war. Me and my dad used to watch all the old gung ho, American movies From World War II and some of those were really cheesy and we loved them but this is an insult for the intelligence to people firing rifles with the bolts not even moving machine guns bullet belts aren't even moving while firing a nurse with really bad German accent. I would never recommend this movie to anyone. It is a total waste of time. There are so many better movies out there to watch than this one, particularly on the subject of World War II.
Asylum
Best thing the producers did was use Eastern Costume for the wardrobe or this film would have a 2/10 rating. I would expect better from an Asylum movie by now. Just grabbing a couple veteran actors is not enough to overcome bland script and poor special effects. Set locations were also very bad along with camera work. Cinematography is almost non existent save for one scene opener showing the hills with some very dense low fog. As far as the "battle sequences", not in any way plausible. So much for the crack German troops that were mentioned by the general with his helmet on in the HQ. Only other + was shooting on Red Digital. Thumbs down!
