Cross of Iron has a great cast, but I cringe at the affected Gerrman accents

and the historical inaccuracies ( the Russians have 1950's USA tanks, the trenches get bombed by Marine Corps Corsairs )
Yeah, Right

The friction between the aristocratic Prussian Officer + the Sergeant, which makes for most of the films drama, fizzles + the film ends on an odd note

James Coburns finest role, + David Warners

James Mason is in his usual top form, but he is way better as Rommel in The Desert Fox Curious how this most English of gentlemen consistently got roles as German officers, and played them really well!

Legend has it Sam Peckinpah had a film about Stalingrad financed + ready to go, even had a few daillys filmed, but he died before any progress was made with that
