Kesselschlacht (1949)
ActionAbenteuerDramaKriegsfilm
Die Handlung dreht sich um eine Gruppe amerikanischer Soldaten, die in der kleinen belgischen Stadt Bastogne im Zweiten Weltkrieg vom Winter und den Deutschen überrascht werden. Ihre Vorräte sind knapp, die Deutschen wollen sie über Radiodurchsagen zur Aufgabe überreden, und das Wetter, insbesondere der dichte Nebel, der das Unterscheiden von Freund und Feind sehr schwierig macht, gibt den Rest dazu, daß die Männer von Kampfesmüdigkeit erfasst werden.
