the fact that the academy awards totally ignored this movie is beyond me.

@HenryvKeiper Interestingly enough, she was born in Japan, which was Germany's ally in the war.

My favourite war film. I always remembered the narration finishing with "... and bring the boys back home... " {que epic music}.
The first air drop in this movie is also fantastic. The sheer drama of what these men are doing is breathtaking, and to me very moving - none of them *had* to do what they did: none of the English-speaking nations were obliged to help out Western Europe, but they did none the less. Real heroes.

@HenryvKeiper Correct, known to his troops in the 14th Army as "Uncle Bill"; a soldier's soldier. My father as a 19 year old Lieutenant said he'd come to inspect troops still tucking his shirt into his trousers! His men loved him and trusted him.
Whose voice is it that is so tranquille?

@mrdurdenx Liv Ullmann. She acts in the film as well - she plays the Dutch mother (although she's Norwegian IRL) whose mansion becomes a British field hospital.
