Tyroleans heroically defend their homeland
Based on a book by the same title, this movie deals with unit of Tyrolean militia from a small mountain village who are tasked with protecting their homes from the invading Italians. As a Nazi-era film it doesn't come across as overtly propagandistic, and to me at least is more tolerable than much of the drivel that Hollywood produced before and during the Second war. But of course German-speaking people defending their land is so politically incorrect. My (region free) dvd is, I believe, from a different company, which I ordered from Germany - the quality isn't that great, and I can't say if this one has parts added or deleted. Overall, though, it's worth viewing if you want a different perspective on the First war, or are interested in how that war was interpreted during the Third Reich era.
