Well done boys. For trying, you have my respect. Nobody else could have done it, even if they re-captured most of you- you died a loyal, dignified death.
Mike Jordan, Bret Favre, Brad Pitt, Winona Ryder...these are today's "heros". That is our society:( The men in this movie are true heros!!!! Tell your children...we can never forget...never forget!!!
@JeffAlbertsen I see, the 2004 2 disc release of the movie if anyone else was wondering. Thank you for posting, my copy is an earlier release and I never would have found this documentary had you not posted.
Unlike all of the black and white photos I have always seen of these brave men, seeing them laughing and smiling in color footage, and photos looking so of modern day men, is what makes this so troubling to watch. These photos could have been taken last week. What a fabulous story of bravery and what the will of man can accomplish. Why any hate groups today would want to emulate cowards like the Nazi's is byond my level of comprehension.
needcafeen: Why are you being so "politically correct" when you mention the word " nazi's". Just say it it like it was. Don't be afraid to use the word "Germans". The nazi's were German.
The Nazi doctrin was not only popular in parts of the population in Germany in WWII. Also peoples from Netherlands, Finland, Austria (where Hitler was born) and many other states supported the crimes of the Nazis in WWII. By the way today the most Nazis live in the US, where the Nazi doctrin is not forbidden.
@needcafeen247 The US nazi party is driven by hate of jews. A mind consumed by hate always suffers from impaired logic. And hate will always comsume a mind if left to fester, thats why the bible says never to sleep in anger. It takes root and feeds the ego, the ego starts to direct thinking and trying to control actions.
Been there, got the T shirt from the gates of hell to prove it.
It wasn't a vision of heaven that convinced there is a God, escaping hell is another type of escape.
An excellent documentary ..outstanding and tells the story of what really happened to the 50 men muredered in cold blood by the Nazis. Thanks for telling the real story and remembering the 50. Well done Mr Clarke ! One of my favorite documentaries on this part of history ! TCUNC76! Remember The 50 !
