Being from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, this film has special significance, as there are still survivors from the actual 'Devil's Brigade'. This film was a hoot to watch and greatly enjoyable. Heartily recommended for those enthusiasts of war movies, and had just enough humour to be endearing rather than off-putting. Would make a fine double bill with the similarly-toned 'Three Kings' or 'Kelly's Heroes'.
