Plot:

November 1944. The Allied advance towards Germany is progressing but in the Hurtgen Forest area it has stalled. The terrain and stubborn German resistance has turned the region into a meatgrinder. In the middle of all this is a veteran, Private Manning, doing his best to stay alive despite suicidal tactics by his superiors. When he is reluctantly promoted to Sergeant he is given a squad of raw replacements to command. Now, instead of just looking out for himself, he has to care about the lives of others.
