When trumpets fade

Deep in the Hurtgen Forest in late 1944, a private could not be more keen to get out of the scene claiming mental instability and is pretty honest about it - many of the others feel the same, but hold it against him. But he keeps being promoted on the face of growing casualities as the Germans put up a tough resistance. After being challenged to take out a German outpost, Private Manning has to motivate his small force to do the impossible.

Reasonably well made flick, but wouldnot reflect in the top war movies list.
