    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The novelization of the screenplay was a spectacular success, selling up to two million copies.
    • Goofs
      As in most war films, the time between the pulling the pin on the grenades and its detonations are wrong (it's happening sooner). There are roughly twenty seconds in-between. It is, however, wrong to assume that the arming process begins as the pin ("Transport Safety") is removed: The Fuse is activated as the grenade is released by the hand ("Arming Safety"), either dropped or thrown, so the time between pulling the pin and the grenade detonating can vary considerably.
    • Quotes
      • Col. Lambert: I've no use for shirkers and there's no room for self-pity here.
    • Crazy credits
      "This is not just a story - it is based on a brutal truth."
    • Connections
      Featured in The World of Hammer: Hammer (1994)
