Hell Is for Heroes

World War II drama centered on a single move executed by a squad of GIs in reprisal against the German Siegfried line's force. Reese joins a group of exhausted GIs who are abruptly ordered back into the line while en route to a rest spot. While the majority of men retire from their positions confronting a German pillbox on the far side of a minefield, a half-dozen men remain to guard a wide front. They convince the Germans that a sizable force is still defending the site through a variety of ruses. Then Reese leads two of the men in an unlawful and unsuccessful attack on the pillbox, killing the other two; and when the main platoon returns, he faces a court martial. Rather than face the humiliation, and in an attempt to demonstrate his righteousness, he launches a one-man assault on the pillbox.
