Just finished it,This movie should be seen by all. This film hits harder than SPR. My Great Uncle was an MP in the Hurtgen,I know he wasn't a front line soldier but being he was there makes me proud
@1stMarineCapt I was reading some information on the web about how, a great deal of British soldiers during WW1 were executed (over 300 soldiers) by there own men, for suffering from "shell shock" We know know that its PTSD, and it is pretty common amongst soldiers who have witnessed horrific incidents like there friends ripped to shreds.
@1stMarineCapt Hopefully this film made at least some of the people who saw it realized how horrible war is and how grateful we should be to those who fight and die in the armed forces. They deserve our respect.
@1stMarineCapt Well, I never had any relatives or friends who died in war, but I admire anyone with the courage and dedication to serve in the military.
Thanks for posting this movie. I was going to buy it because I had never seen it before now. Decent movie about a little known aspect of the western front. It was little known because it was a strategic and tactical screw-up by the Americans. Top officers were greatly embarrassed by this blunder and for many years, the truth about Hurtgen was suppressed, not covered up, but suppressed so questions about American leadership would NOT be made.
My Grandfather served in the 109th 28th division from beginning of WW2 to the End. He was wounded in the head by shrapnel in the hertgun forest. He was only off the line for few days. It's very hard to get him to talk about anything that happened other than he will say that he was there. We have a picture of his unit and he says only 5 of them survived. He is 92 yrs old today and still lives on a farm in Ohio. He still drives and gets around very good. I often wondered how he survived.
@PorMansGold Send my respectfulness to your gramps. I respect every single servicemen who was there, in the woods of the Hurtgen Forest, fighting for today's generation.
@1stMarineCapt I agree 100% This battle was a precursor to the "Battle of the Bulge" so it is overlooked alot. My God how brave those men were. I would do anything to thank the poor guys who gave all in that forest for our country.
@Metalmanmania357 Well yeah. I honor them every bit I could... I've always finding chances to speak to them, no matter how much time it cost me, I simply don't care, because we are the ones who will keep telling these old folklore stories to many more generations to come, so that they will forever remembering the heroes once who saved their days.
@PorMansGold Wow!! That is awesome that he is still with us. Good story.. I feel the same way if I would have been put in the position of my grandfather who served in North Africa..
This is a good film,but the thing that annoys me is they always think the western front won WW2.Thats just not true.If the Germans have won in the east it would have been gg for the west.
@Soupa000 Artillery more than likely did that damage. It came from the German 88 or 8.8 cm shell. That was according to my grandfather a Army Air Corp Surgeon was a nasty round just like the MG 42 machine gun.
This is by far the most intellegently made American WWII flick ever made IMHO. Saving Private Ryan was great but my problem with it is the Germans are mindless drones and using Tigers in an infantry fight was just for added sensationalism. In WTF the Germans use their reserves after they lose their guns just like they would in reality. It showed the horrible ways men die in war unlike in those stupid movies of my youth. And the heroe is just an ordinary shit scared guy not some big John Wayne
Besides the bad special effects, the film shows perfectly the extremely dire loneliness and coldness that was present in many units on the front lines. Band of Brothers shows the extreme exception to the rule, especially in late-war in Europe. This shows life as the normal dog-face cannon fodder GI. Nothing glorious.
@Godzilla3601 He put him out of his misery. If he took him, he would have bled to death, if he left him, he would have bled to death. Either way, Bobby was going to die on that battlefield. David made a decision to end it for him rather than prolong Bob's misery.
Not sure if that is a historical fact, I've never seen or heard a WWII vet say he ended it for his buddy.
But this movie shows just how fucked up things were in war.
Listen up!! I turned this movie onto a Hurtgen Forest POW named H.Y. Benedict... Here is what he told me.. He was captured while staring up at a Jeep blown fifteen feet into a tree by an 88 shell. The Jeep had a G.I. boot dripping blood hanging out of it. Asked him what they got fed he answered, "Chicory peas and pine needle soup. " He told how in early `45 he was assinged to fill boxcars with flour. His buddy got caught stealing food. In stead of death they broke 35 teeth by rifle butt.
I want to inform you that as of the 16th of November 2010 a new documentary has been released with original combat footage from the 1st US Signal Corps about this subject (battle in the huertgen forest, battle of the bulge). The DVD can be ordered by the konejung foundation on their website (just google "konejung stiftung". It's in German and English and contains 4 hrs of never before seen footage from american archives...
@NotesCollector "Over There" Was written by George M. Cohan. Following America's entry into World War One in 1917 Cohan penned what quickly established itself as the leading American marching song of the war, Over There; Cohan was formally recognized for the role this song played in boosting wartime morale with his award of the Congressional Medal of Honor
@NotesCollector Actually "Over There" was composed in 1917 by the Broadway song and dance man George M. Cohen of New York, responsible for such hits as "Yankee Doodle Dandy".
My mistake, I should have phrased it more clearly that the song " Over There" was composed FOR the soldiers of World War One, and it still is a classic ( if you cut out certain parts) that we still can relate to today :)
@eba2294 pretty contradictory opinion. Cuz they're really diffrent movies, SPR showd america soldiers as herous, who were fighting hand on heart for america, without any fear and germans were fanatic, cruel and mean soldiers who were all nazis. Kinda propaganda like movie. One american soldier kills and captures dozend of SS soldiers like grass. This movie doesn't flutter things so much and it's not patriotic. I guess that's why it's not so popular as dumbass SPR like movies.
@ipwnunoob249 yea i see what you mean but he seemed pretty coherent he should have not listened to him and just carried him back to the medics he looked like he had a good chance of surviving after the seizure. but yea i see what you mean
Thanks!!, I remember watching this when I was much younger, but couldn't remember the name of the movie because it was on TV. But thanks for putting this up, been looking for it for a VERY long time.
if d-day had failed, there would have been another invasion later on. the outcome of the war was inevitable. the US simply outproduced germany in every way. germany could never defeat the soviets because they had no long range bombers to stop soviet weaponry production
I disagree with you. If D-day had failed tons or resource man power Specially man power would have been lost , u have to think about when you say fail that means tons and tons of man waves where shot down, following by a loos of moral in Britain and the US. I believe they would reinforce operation cobra and take the beaches that way since by then Operation Husky was Already successful and no doubt they would need to reinforce the Mediterranean from being pushed out of Europe
Rubbish. Most of the German forces were on the Eastern Front and the turning point of WW2 was the Battle of Stalingrad; that's 3 years before US forces landed in Normandy
Actually, battle of Stalingrad was won in the beginning of 1943 after a several month fighting and terrible winter in the fall of 1942. SO that mean 1 years before D Day had begun.
if dday had failed then europe would have been divided between the USSR and germany. True the russians fought the majority of the german army but they couldn't have won without the help of the western allies (not to mention we fought the japanese all by ourselves)
ahahahah, xD, first dont be ignorat and say soviet, not russian!, second, after the war every soviet soldier count like 10 soldier of other coutry, urss could get the win without any help... but of course us need material for make movies.... ;)
without food, medicine, clothing, weapons, supply trucks and many more supplies given by the US, the USSR would have collapsed they didn't have the ability to sustain their own army
well they obviously couldn't because they were getting food from the US and it wasn't just food like i said medicine, clothing, supply trucks, weapons and so on
this movie really impresses me and it reminds me on my favourite book on the hürtgenwald topic. the funnny thing about it is the title which is very similar to the movie title "das verstummte hurra" roughy translates "the hurray that fell silent" i dont think there is an english translation but to anyone who speaks german i highly recommend it.
Thank you so much mate. I almost cry when I saw this movie. Although US army left Viet Nam with a sensitively thought, I soon then found them heroes and truly victories in this movie.
P.S: don't call me a sissy when I say I almost cry.
Saving Private Ryan has been called the best WW2 movie ever made. When Trumpets Fade is as good as SPR in every regard in my book. I've always loved this movie and it's a shame that it's so underrated. When Trumpets Fade is an awesome war movie!!!!!! 10/10
I agree, this is a fantastic movie and the most human war movie that I know. It completely pools me in every time I watch it. There is nothing sentimental in it like in We Were Soldiers and Black Hawk Down (which are also very good movies), there is no any national pride in it either, just human beings facing death and relying on luck and their will and courage to win and survive. I could not find anything pretensions in it this movie is a masterpiece!!!
@ozeangruen Fairy tale or not, SPR is a great war movie. When Trumpets Fade is the 2nd best anti-war movie. You want to see the best? Watch A Midnight Clear. That movie says everything that anti-war is all about.
@violator79 In my opinion SPR is great entertaining but defenetly not a anti-war movie it is quite the contrary. American soldier heros fighting bravely their way through enemie lines. Where TRumpets Fade shows a accurate spotlight of war. anxious soldiers, soldier zombies, absurd high comand orders and also refuse of obedience.
@ozeangruen I never said SPR was anti-war. SPR is a great war movie. For anti-war, When Trumpets Fade and A Midnight Clear are the 2 best anti-war movies I've ever seen. I don't know if Das Boot can be considered anti-war, but it's up there with the great war movies.
@violator79 Agree... I love that they gave a real meaning behind it. I mean SPR had a common meaning of D-Day but this one is much deeper. Opens our eyes for the soldiers who died in smaller wars.
then again, people allways tend to watch the most popular movies over movies that arent known at all, i on the other hand tend to do otherwise, i allways say it already had enough money earned off other people, ill spend mine on less known movies
@violator79 Saving Private Ryan is far from being the best WW2 movie this is far more realistic and bette rmade than SPR that is just action oriented gorish yanke propaganda with exception of Normandy D-Day sequence that is excelent made the rest of the movie is your averege cliché on WWII movies on American Perpective.
This is one of the grittiness depictions of infantry combat I've seen on screen! No glory! No fancy slogans! War in its truest form, a bloody and nasty and brutal business!!
The 28th Div"Keystone" has a long battle record and the oldest Army Division. I'm proud to have served with them in the PA Nat'l Guard. Because of their loses at the Hertgen Forest, the Germans named the 28th "the bloody bucket" because of the red keystone emblem on their patch.
Dear god, he had no choice but to put him out of his misery...I was in the reenactment, but this adds more thought to what really went on...god bless those soldiers who died and those who made it home
You don´t know nothing about it!!!!My grandfathers and grandmothers had experience with second world war in the Czech republic.And olnly these people knows what is it.
wtf thats not true, i play video games and i understand full well the difference sure most do.maybe not younger kids but most ppl understand war is hell and its no where near how you feel in war...
yes but fantasies suck. You have fantasies about war, but you never going to war, you have fantasies about women, someone else is going to skrew her, you hve fantasies abouit jobs some one else going to take it. Fantasy
it was based on the true story of what happend but it also aired on HBO .. they couldnt make it with that much crazy ass gore u wanna see.
band of brothers WAS awsome. and it is my all time fav. war movie. dont get me wrong but i love all war movie's id just like to know why u hate it so much? band of brothers took me every place from where 101st airborn first started.
as for this vid...it's nice to see a take on the battle of Hurtgen forest....a quote not in German but translated "The walls have ears"....."Lights when shutters are open"...referring to the horrible cramped German bunkers of the Hurtgen forest
I think it's because he can't left bobby alone in the forrest and he can't take him back to the hq. so he decides to kill him instead of let him experience a painfull horrible death. It's the simplest way to go back, i guess that's his character.
um its actually pretty good for a documentary series, furthermore most of the events in that series was complete in part by a military advisor, it is certainly more realistic than most movies....it's almost impossible to recreate the exact war, so producers do the best they can to interpret.,who are you to argue? a Veteran..if so then I'm sorry..otherwise think before you judge, and back up your arguement
lol well the majority of the time the Americans killed more than they lost. actually when it came to combat between the USA and germany..i can only think of one time when the USA suffered more casualties and that was Huntegen Forest
For German vs. US casualties check the battles of Sidi Bou Zid, Kasserine Pass, Monte Casino, Anzio (the allied casualties were higher for anzio but there are an unknown number of british figured in there too). Also the june 6 landings and battle of the bulge kill ratios are about equal.
Just finished it,This movie should be seen by all. This film hits harder than SPR. My Great Uncle was an MP in the Hurtgen,I know he wasn't a front line soldier but being he was there makes me proud

P.S: don't call me a sissy when I say I almost cry.

Saving Private Ryan has been called the best WW2 movie ever made. When Trumpets Fade is as good as SPR in every regard in my book. I've always loved this movie and it's a shame that it's so underrated. When Trumpets Fade is an awesome war movie!!!!!! 10/10

I agree, this is a fantastic movie and the most human war movie that I know. It completely pools me in every time I watch it. There is nothing sentimental in it like in We Were Soldiers and Black Hawk Down (which are also very good movies), there is no any national pride in it either, just human beings facing death and relying on luck and their will and courage to win and survive. I could not find anything pretensions in it this movie is a masterpiece!!!

@violator79 I SPR is a typically Steven Spielberg fairytale. When Trumpets Fade is the best unvarnished anti-war movie ever made.

@ozeangruen Fairy tale or not, SPR is a great war movie. When Trumpets Fade is the 2nd best anti-war movie. You want to see the best? Watch A Midnight Clear. That movie says everything that anti-war is all about.
violator79 1 year ago
@violator79 In my opinion SPR is great entertaining but defenetly not a anti-war movie it is quite the contrary. American soldier heros fighting bravely their way through enemie lines. Where TRumpets Fade shows a accurate spotlight of war. anxious soldiers, soldier zombies, absurd high comand orders and also refuse of obedience.
ozeangruen 1 year ago
@ozeangruen I never said SPR was anti-war. SPR is a great war movie. For anti-war, When Trumpets Fade and A Midnight Clear are the 2 best anti-war movies I've ever seen. I don't know if Das Boot can be considered anti-war, but it's up there with the great war movies.

@violator79 I apologize ! However SPR seems to me like Spielberg / AIPAC propaganda
ozeangruen 1 year ago
@violator79 Agree... I love that they gave a real meaning behind it. I mean SPR had a common meaning of D-Day but this one is much deeper. Opens our eyes for the soldiers who died in smaller wars.

then again, people allways tend to watch the most popular movies over movies that arent known at all, i on the other hand tend to do otherwise, i allways say it already had enough money earned off other people, ill spend mine on less known movies

@violator79 Saving Private Ryan is far from being the best WW2 movie this is far more realistic and bette rmade than SPR that is just action oriented gorish yanke propaganda with exception of Normandy D-Day sequence that is excelent made the rest of the movie is your averege cliché on WWII movies on American Perpective.

Thank you for posting this! Excellent film. Captures a much forgotten and ill advised portion of the American drive during the fall of 1944.

The 28th Div"Keystone" has a long battle record and the oldest Army Division. I'm proud to have served with them in the PA Nat'l Guard. Because of their loses at the Hertgen Forest, the Germans named the 28th "the bloody bucket" because of the red keystone emblem on their patch.

David killed Bobby because he saw himself dead as Bobby, if he continued with saving his friends life... "So sad"...
shiamuslimforcongres 3 years ago
why did he kill bobby?
gokory 3 years ago
I think it's because he can't left bobby alone in the forrest and he can't take him back to the hq. so he decides to kill him instead of let him experience a painfull horrible death. It's the simplest way to go back, i guess that's his character.
but i'm not quiet shure...

um its actually pretty good for a documentary series, furthermore most of the events in that series was complete in part by a military advisor, it is certainly more realistic than most movies....it's almost impossible to recreate the exact war, so producers do the best they can to interpret.,who are you to argue? a Veteran..if so then I'm sorry..otherwise think before you judge, and back up your arguement
emanre3 3 years ago
i agree that bob is more realistic then many movies but i think i has the same problems as saving private ryan though less intense.
there is too much heroic pathos and the germans are portrait too weak. but its an u.s. series. what else can you expect from the usa?
i personally find bob ok.

illiniman06 2 years ago
For German vs. US casualties check the battles of Sidi Bou Zid, Kasserine Pass, Monte Casino, Anzio (the allied casualties were higher for anzio but there are an unknown number of british figured in there too). Also the june 6 landings and battle of the bulge kill ratios are about equal.
