A group of German boys are ordered to protect a small bridge in their home village during the waning months of the second world war. Truckloads of defeated, cynical Wehrmacht soldiers flee the approaching American troops, but the boys, full of enthusiasm for the "blood and honor" Nazi ideology, stay to defend the useless bridge. The film is based on a West German anti-war novel of the same name, written by Gregor Dorfmeister.

Has some very powerful, memorable and frightening moments. Tells you a lot about meaningless fanatism in Germany during WW2. Let's me shudder, when I realized that this is based on real events. Must have taken courage to write and direct such a movie that early after the war. Original title: *Die Brücke*. Side quest: try to spot Fritz Wepper. He later became one of Germany's most famous actors.
