      Laughter in the depths of history

      The clumsy soldier comforted his infuriated comrades and could only send a long kiss:

      The picture is too beautiful

      Rescue the wounded in the hail of bullets, and even if there are wine and beauties in the hospital, Paoze is also in the heart.

      On the battlefield of blood and fire, at the entrance of hell,...

      The "sense of honor" of Wehrmacht officers

      The noble officers regarded themselves as lofty and longed for the Iron Cross, but what they did was all despicable and despicable, extremely ironic. The ending shocked me, but made sense. Judging from the information revealed in the movie, the protagonist's army should be the southern army that is about to be surrounded, between the Crimea Peninsula and Stalingrad, at the most stalemate stage of the battle between the two sides. So there is a scene in the movie where the entire regiment...

      Soviet unknown soldier

      The film looks at World War II from the perspective of the German army. The Iron Cross is awarded to those German soldiers who have made military exploits. However, not many people on the front line take the Iron Cross very seriously. Survival is the last word.

      The German army in the film is divided into three types, one is the protagonist Steiner, the cannon fodder who is fighting to end the war, the second is the aristocrat who fights for honor, the second is Captain Stronsky, and...

      The classic among the classics, the most real battlefield, the most real battlefield situation!

      I originally wanted to search for the Iron Cross, a physical commodity on Demeng.com, but I found this movie by accident, so I came down to watch it. I have to say that it was a small surprise.
          Putting aside ideological struggles, wars, regardless of victory or defeat, are catastrophic to the common people and grassroots soldiers of the warring countries. Human life is only once, and every moment should be cherished. However, the war has ruthlessly destroyed them. At the same time, it...

      The war movie of 1977 can be given a five-star rating. The war scenes are spectacular and realistic. A legendary sergeant who likes to live and die with his comrades meets a Prussian noble boss who tries his best to get the Iron Cross as soon as possible to honor his ancestors. , The conflict between them is "Blood Flower". Some links in it still need to be carefully examined. Some plots are slightly...

    Movie plot

    In 1943, on the Eastern Front, German Captain Stronsky had just been promoted to squadron commander. The captain wanted to promote Steiner, who was good at fighting, but Steiner showed disdain and arrogance for the promotion. And he showed disgust for the superiors in the headquarters, and therefore did not give Stronsky a chance to get the medal. The captain was very annoyed that Steiner's platoon was not notified when the troops were...
