When watching this excellent movie, I was reminded of a comment by the real "Shifty" Powers of Easy Company. That if it were not for the war, he and those German soldiers might have been good friends. This same sentiment was brought out, but not overplayed. I must also add that the character development and story were top notch. Over 100 war re-enactors volunteered to participate in the filming. And note that actor Charles Durning is one of the survivors of the Malmedy Massacre that took place on Dec. 17, 1944.
