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 retreats one after another and is finally forced to fight to the death. Steiner lets the noble officer let him prove himself.

Cross of Iron quotes

  • Captain Stransky: A world without women. It's an old theory of mine. Men can get along without women easily. Easily. I tell you a man's true destiny is not just breeding children, all this childbirth and chocolate, but to be free. To rule and to fight. In other words: to lead a man's existence. Women are no more than a nuisance. Sometimes necessary.

  • Unteroffizier Krüger: Stop your fuckin' silly game! This isn't a brothel, this is a war!
