In 1971 I arrived in Vietnam and got my first active duty combat assignment. The orders listed the replacement company you were to report to and which camp. They had a huge map that showed every camp and which unit it supported. I still remember looking at that map and seeing that screaming eagle next to camp Evans outside Hue at Phu Bai. My first thought was "Holy Sh*t, the 101st. Airborne." To this day the idea that I earned the right to wear that eagle makes me proud.

Then the 101st packed up and left Vietnam. The base was turned over to the ARVN, 3 days later, the only thing left of the 101st base was the concrete pads! One week you couldn't see past the buildings, next week a wide open area! Then a few weeks later, the NVA moved in!

Ditto. If you do not feel pride seeing this scene, you had better check your pulse. Although the events are heavily dramaticized-this was the same group of surviving paratroopers who were surrounded, outnumbered, outgunned, cut off from their supply lines, low on food and ammo, and when the Germans asked for their surrender-they defiantly gave the now famous response-NUTS! Dove or hawk, conservative or liberal, nobody can argue it was not a proud moment.

This is what separates the elite from the regular Army. The stand and refusal to surrender by the 101st Airborne Division is what legends are made of. The story made such an impact and impression on a young 8 year old boy that he vowed to someday serve in that historic unit. Notice the playing card Club symbol on their helmets. Thats the sign of the 327th Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. That boy did in fact grow up and serve in the 327th Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division in combat in Vietnam and is now a proud part of the history of that Regiment and Division. That boy was me.

Every effort was made to get it right. Made in 1949,it was made while the events were still fresh in the public’s mind and everyone in the military and public was riding high on the Allied victory. The Army provided lots of veteran advisors like Colonel Harry W.O. Kinnard who were key players in the battle. The movie cemented in the public’s eyes the great feat the 101st Airborne accomplished with the oft forgotten critical participation of armored and other units not part of the Screaming Eagles.

One of the great War movies, so realistic, and leaves a lasting impression. You really care about the characters, and a lot don't make it, they die and the War still moves on. many movies based on World War 2 have tried to capture the spirit and soul of the American G.I. fighting in Europe, but very few get it right, and if they do, its only in fits and starts, this movie however hits the nail right on the head . The men are not heroes, nor are they cowards, they are people from all walks of life, all religions and all backgrounds pulling together for a common purpose. The definition of America.

Some genius said this picture wasn’t realistic. It most certainly was. It was written by Master Sergeant Robert Pirosh, U.S. Army, who had served in the Battle of the Bulge. Twenty of the extras were 101st Airborne soldiers, who trained the Hollywood actors and worked as extras. And several of the actors were decorated combat veterans (Neville Brand, James Arness, et al.). Bob Pirosh had been a successful screenwriter before The War (e.g., classic Marx Bothers comedies). After the War, he devoted himself to singing the praises of the infantry. He wrote this picture (1949), for which he won an Oscar for Best (Original) Story and Screenplay, and another, about the all-Nisei (Japanese-American) Fighting 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the most heavily decorated unit in The War, Go for Broke (1951). Pirosh was also nominated for Best Story and Screenplay for that picture. In 1962, he created the show Combat! (1962-1967), for my money, the greatest TV drama of all time, and wrote and directed the picture, Hell is for Heroes. Unfortunately, one of the cast members of Hell was the king of cruel, a former marine named Steve McQueen. McQueen demanded a bigger role, took the shoot hostage, and made life so miserable for Pirosh that the latter quit, with the picture 95% finished. The studio brought in Don Siegel to wrap it up, and gave Siegel the complete director’s credit. And that was it for director Bob Pirosh, though he continued to sell TV scripts for many years. When John Sturges was producing and directing The Great Escape the following year, Cruel was in the cast, and again kidnapped the shoot, demanding a bigger role. At first, Sturges stood tall against the thug, but then he thought of Bob Pirosh and submitted to Cruel. How Steve McQueen made it through the Marines without getting court martialed and tossed, I’ll never know.

I agree one of the Best if not The Best. One of My Dad’s older Brother’s was a Combat Engineer 289th RCT 75th infantry first Battle on Christmas Eve Grandmenil Belgium. My First Wife’s Dad Melvin Moose Muznich had a voice and mannerism’s like Sergeant Kinnie and also chewed cigars. He was a Veteran of the 95th Infantry Division from Metz to the End of the War. There Have been many excellent WW2 movies with excellent actor’s, Acting and Special effects. I think Battleground excels in that it captures the feeling even though filmed using studio sets. The sound of the Rifle fire in the ambush scene although subdued was a good match to anyone who has experienced that from high power rifles in cold and snow. If You are in proximity of down range shots they can sound like mortar rounds cutting the air.there is definitely something about all the people who grew up and lived through those times that I don’t believe or at least I have yet to see a actor no matter how good portray. My Uncle Ernie Magri is in a video about Memorial Day. My Uncle Lou Ardito a decorated machine Gunner Who fought through Italy with the 34th infantry Div. said Saving Private Ryan was also very good and as close as a movie audience will get without the smells and tastes of actual combat and witnessing horrific wounds, cries for Help or the expressions on the faces of men burned beyond recognition standing bolt upright in the turret of knocked out tank’s. The use of Jody Call’s and the way depicted in this movie are a definite plus that helps the audience to somewhat feel those Times like Woody Guthries Billy Boy or Earl Robinson’s Waiting from the Ballad of the Texas Division that was in the soundtrack of A Walk In The Sun.

The first scene in this movie was this same platoon at full strength doing Drill and Ceremony routines. Quite a drop off in number of paratroopers. I get chills when this smaller platoon gets into the scene.

What a fantastic ending. Scrubby James Whitmore limping along, "you won't get home to the end of the war, in nineteen hundred and seventy four" as the men pick up the cadence with pride in each other.

Growing up in the 1960's it was Little Army or Big Army every day with my Friends. Little was in the dirt Piles and your Plastic Army Men. Big army was with your dads old WW2 equipment Brought home. Tents - Helmets - Belts , you get the idea. I still remember the first time watching that film. As I Grew older I collected Autographs from many of the actors in that film , Noting watching it as many times the three basic channels would air it. I also over the years interviewed men who were in the battle of the bulge all said they had the stuffing kicked out of them before it turned around. Total respect for the men who served. Love World War Two history.

I was in AFROTC in 1985, and on our field training encampment we sang the same marching jody they sing at 2:14. Brings back a lot of good memories. And, of course, this is a wonderful film.

Foot ailments were a major problem. Protection from the cold, as we see here, came from wrapping scraps of burlap (from a supply of gunny sacks found in a warehouse) around one's boots.
