Es ist 1944 - und der Zweite Weltkrieg tobt. Eine Gruppe amerikanischer Soldaten sehnt sich nach Heimaturlaub. Doch ihre Hoffnung wird jäh zerstört, als sie ein neuer Einsatzbefehl erreicht. Zwar wird die Truppe bald von dem Elitesoldaten Reese unterstützt, doch das sorgt eher für Unmut. Um dem schier übermächtigen Gegner standzuhalten, müssen die Männer ihren Einfallsreichtum unter Beweis stellen. (Kabel eins classics)

I really liked how the Americans behaved so light-heartedly in this movie. The 1960s are definitely a time when many war veterans still vividly remembered WWII. Hell Is for Heroes is a rough film, but it’s not afraid to throw in a whole host of pretty absurd situations. The best part was how a guy suddenly appeared at the enemy line, even though he was supposed to be about thirty kilometers away with a jeep. He crashed the jeep into a tree, the soldiers took the jeep from him and then scared the Germans on the other side of the line with it, because after the collision the engine rattled in it so loud the Germans thought there was a tank, which saved the whole situation, which would have otherwise been a total mess. I must say that I was quite satisfied during these 90 minutes. The movie was rough and absurd, and at some moments it brought a smile to my face. The war here is not portrayed exactly in the way I imagined, but as a movie it wasn’t bad.
