The Red One Column is the title!

In fact, watching this movie was accidental. At that time, the Internet was not popular. I like to use the New Year's money to buy a few DVDs. Well, I only watched war movies. I bought "Field Platoon", "Born on July 4th", and this one. "Red Column", very old picture, but the story is wonderful.
An old captain, after World War I and World War II, brought new recruits to tide over the difficulties. With rich experience, he presents the main battles in North Africa, France, Belgium, and Germany from the perspective of five people.
Happily, they delivered the woman in the tank, tied the foot with the tank chain, and took out the baby with a condom.
There is sadness, watching the piles of skeletons in the concentration camp, and the dying children, which makes people feel heartache.
I like the captain. He is seasoned, patriotic, cold-faced but caring for his rookie recruits. He is a perfect soldier, not a cold killing machine.
A few excerpts;
"We are not murdering, we are murdering."

"Am I going to be castrated (he stepped on a landmine)?"
"No, only one is broken. That's why God wants to give you two."
In short, this is an unforgettable war movie.

    Very exciting World War II movie, worthy of Samuel Fowler

    At the end, the scene of the old squad leader assassinating the enemy and then struggling to rescue the enemy after learning that the war is over is impressive.

The Big Red One quotes

  • Zab: [narrating] Those Sicilian women cooked us a terrific meal. I'ts too bad they were all over fifty. We were more horny than we were hungry.

  • The Sergeant: [choking the German male nurse who kissed him on the mouth] I can understand you being horny and all, Fritz... but you have bad breath.
