Cross of Iron
It’s 1943, as well as the German military —ravaged and demoralised—will be retreating in the Russian front. In the middle of the insanity, battle contrasts between the aristocratic yet finally pusillanimous Captain Stransky along with the brave Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only person who thinks that the Third Reich remains vastly superior to the Russian military. But, in his pompous character establishes a quivering coward who awakens to the Iron Cross in order he can go back to Berlin a fanatic. Steiner, on the other hand is doubtful, defiantly non-conformist and more worried about the security of his own guys as opposed to the horde of army decorations provided to him by his own superiors.
