Conventional approach to WW2 drama, except told from the German side. Largely spoilt by John Gavin's wooden acting. Jock Mahoney would have been better in the lead, not in a bit part. Keenan Wynn lifts it whenever he appears. Directed by a German, based on a German book. Author has small part. He sums up his philosophy as need to believe in God. (Believe it if you want!)
