Although I do not think this is a good film, it does have an incredibly moving
moent at the end when they liberate the concentration camp at Falkenau (and many
people have seen the actual silent footage Samuel Fuller shot as a soldier,
documenting the war crimes committed there). Most heart-tugging is when the
sergeant (played by Lee Marvin finds the little boy there and tries to nurse him
back to health. We see them enjoying a little picnic underneath a tree by the
river, with the haunting tinkling coming from that music box (a symbol of the
culture and civilization and innocent lives of Europe the Nazis had destroyed).
When he carries that boy up on his shoulders, the boy soon slumps over to the
side and dies with his eyes still open and the sergeant continuing to walk on,
seeming almost not to notice....

"He walked around for half an hour before he could bring himself to put the kid
down."
