646f9e108c A hard-nose general takes over a division with a bad combat record.
I think you all missed the point! The premise of the movie is to try to guess who the traitor is--the one who is betraying their next moves to the enemy. That is where I get my enjoyment; from the suspense. And as far as the suspense went, it was terrific!!
Lets give everyone a minor TV history lesson. they used to have something made by the major TV channels called a TV Movie. This was one of them. It was made on a shoe string budget with the combat action being made up of stock footage from the big screen feature movie "Patton". One of the things you also have to remember is the political climate of the time. It was anti orthodox, anti Vietnam and anti military. So a General who was a mustang;it means to become a officer thru the ranks rather than thru West Point; and did not want to throw a enlisted man to the rear area paperwork lions because he ran away, at least not till he finds out why and in the process finds out he has a mystery on his hands and a big time security leak that he must fix before his battalion goes back into combat against the Germans.
