this movie be a waste of film stock . do you believe that the map of a plan of a military mission would be place on an easel on a patio in broad daylight for anyone with binoculars or a camera with a zoom lens to see . it happen in this film . do you believe that a deaf person would actually be enlist in the active duty army in europe during wwii to serve in a negro unit . cooking and supply service and burial detail and etc . it happen in this film . do you believe that a black ( and supposedly intelligent ) officer would select this same deaf k. p. to be part of an active combat mission to protect a dam from be destroy by the german before the ally arrive . it happen in this film . would you be surprise that the deaf soldier do not realize that a german plane be approach from behind and would strafe and kill him . it happen in this film . would you be surprise that a group of american soldier hold up in a barn at a farmhouse that the german happen upon would shout out their emotion at the sight of the german soldier who be just 50 away . they do it in this film and and leave any possible entrance to the barn the german might check totally unprotected . would you believe that and over the airwave and in clear english and the captain mention the general rank and if not his name and a the person he be speak with and that the general and in plain english over open airwave and say that the dam have to be protect the next day . maybe they should have just send in an emissary to tell which direction the american attack would be come from just to make it a little easy on the german . this so called movie should be place on a list of the top 50 bad film . if it be and i be sure it would do well . watch it at your own risk .
