one of fuller ( a combat veteran himself ) early work of average quality and but accurately hit on the many conflict aspect of life in postwar germany . the main character start the movie in apr45 a a sgt with c co and 157th inf and 45th div and which really do end the war in munich a in the movie . ( same unit in the previous month have fight heavily in aschaffenburg and then liberate part of the dachau facility ) . to the uninformed the movie may seem confuse by flip flop between show the good and bad of the german people . but anyone who have be there or at least well read on it would know that most of what be portray in the movie be thing that really do happen in 45 47 germany . the only inaccuracy i notice be minor represent while on a boat cruise of the rhine pass the remains of the remagen bridge he comment he cross there . but his unit really cross well south of there north of worm germany .
