Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsAt the end of the film when the last German soldier is shooting at Lt. Hoffmen, he fires several continuous shots with a Mauser bolt-action rifle, without moving the bolt after each shot. It would be impossible to fire a bolt-action rifle without moving the bolt after each shot to eject the spent casings.
- Alternate versionsThe European release has the actors portraying American characters speaking Italian. The actors portraying German characters spoke German with Italian subtitles, or have had their voices dubbed-in by German-speaking actors, also with Italian subtitles. The American release has the actors portraying American characters speaking English, whose voices have been dubbed in by English-speaking actors. The actors portraying Germans have had their voices dubbed in English in most cases. Occassionally, in the German sequences, the Italian subtitles remain in place of dubbed voices. The American release has most of the opening and closing titles translated to English.

Featured review
If there were a subgenre of WWII movies that nonsensically blend pure spaghetti western action with circus athletes enlisted for special missions, this film would undoubtedly be a masterpiece. But alas, I fear such a subgenre doesn't exist, and this isn't just a poorly conceived and executed B-movie. The plot is as thick as two short planks, the dialogues seem written by someone who's never seen a decent movie in his life. Everything is pure caricature, except for the production team who took it very seriously. This isn't to say that good movies can't be made by remixing some of the ingredients used here, but of course, to do so, one must be a good chef, and they do exist...
