The film recounts a bloody experience on the Eastern Front in 1943 from the perspective of the German army, focusing on a war-weary veteran and a noble officer whose life goal is to obtain the Iron Cross. Their confrontations represent two mentalities within the German forces at the time and reveal the ultimate direction of the war... In 1943, on the German front, Captain Stranski has just been promoted to squadron leader, and he is determined to earn the highest honor of the German forces, the Iron Cross. The captain wants to promote the capable and battle-hardened Steiner, but Steiner dismisses promotions and honors. The captain is furious and sends him to the front lines, letting Steiner's men slaughter each other in the chaos. Steiner, unable to contain his anger, pursues the captain for revenge, risking enemy fire... The film portrays the bloody battlefield from a human perspective, showcasing the best and worst aspects of humanity in extreme and chaotic moments. Germans are no different; war brings immense suffering and provokes deep reflection. War is instigated by man; its brutality and destructiveness should not be forgotten! Comments: Although this film is the only war movie by American film master and "violent cowboy" Sam Peckinpah, it still vividly presents a "blood and sand" western sentiment. The war scenes in the film are realistic, violent, and full of beauty. Notably, this film is also one of the representative works of the recently deceased "screen tough guy" James Coburn. The survival instinct displayed in extremely difficult circumstances is enough to move viewers.
