criticism

"Sometimes exciting, but superficial war adventure in an amateurish design and with cheap heroism."

- Lexicon of international film

"Superficial and improbable, sometimes sentimental and pathetic, artistically completely insignificant, the strip is politically objectionable as well: the German soldiers are martial and heroic, all others are intelligently superior."

- Protestant film observer
