@@paulskehan693 My dad rented this a long time ago (90s) and I kind of forgot about it, but then I remembered it when I started using UA-cam back in the day. Then when I was talking to a friend of mine who was a big war buff, I asked him if he'd ever seen this movie, and he said no. I sent him a clip of the last few minutes of the movie and he messaged me back afterwards. "Wow."
I always felt that the opening bit of the film was genius. It really shows it was written by someone who lived there. The absurdity duality of "wheat fields and blonde children" going hand-in-hand with a nation in total war and soldiering being the highest valued profession was perfectly shown with the almost surreal children's song blending with the artillery shelling.
A great movie...even if you think that the director was drunk and the whole movie was underfunded...but somehow, the 1960s and 1970s made the best war-movies ever. From Waterloo to Steiner to Battle of Britain to a Bridge too far to Tora, Tora, Tora....
That ending never leaves you. Him laughing while the whole world goes to hell descending into madness. Another good one from the 80s that gets overlooked is The Siege of Firebase Gloria.
@colbyjames7205 "The Cross of Iron is one of my favourite films of all time, perhaps the best Sam Peckinpah film ever," You need to see The Wild Bunch and Ride the High Country.
an absolutely brutal film that portrays many of the horrors and futility of war from the losing sides perspective without robbing dignity or falsly glorifying it, but what is amazing about the film beyond the acting, story and music is the snap shot pictures at the end of the film
Berthold Brecht's quote and the ending montage + Gold's music were absolutely chilling. "Don't yet rejoice in his defeat, you men. Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again."
Interesting trivial fact that the poster of this superb film depicts a dead SS trooper (eagle on arm) whereas the whole film bar one character )who get's his just desserts) are Wehrmacht and not SS detachments.
when i was very young and watched this film, all i though of it, was a good war movie, just recently i have watched it again, and in such a deep way did it effect me, that i was brought to tears, the ethical values within it where so deeply thinking, this new view came about with me attend college this past couple of years and doing philosophy
I saw it at the theater with my friend and his parents and didn't appreciate it. We just laughed at the scene with the lady. It is a classic. Shell, Mason, and Coburn they are amazing.
Sgt. Steiner (James Coburn) It's all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever. Yet we stand here in the middle of no man's land. Me and you. (As he is releasing a captured young Russian soldier)
Song at the beginning of Cross of Iron is a German children's song called, "Hanschen Klein". Words to 1st verse are: Hänschen klein Geht allein In die weite Welt hinein. Stock und Hut Steht im gut, Ist gar wohlgemut. Aber Mama weinet sehr, Hat ja nun kein Hänschen mehr! "Wünsch dir Glück!" Sagt ihr Blick, "Kehr' nur bald zurück!" Words to the whole song are easily found by searching on line. Very catchy tune actually, cleverly spliced into German martial music.
@@oleopathic Ummmm ... I reckon this depends on a person's individual interpretation. I believe the symbolic meaning of mixing of a classic German children's song with martial music associated with war, is meant to signify loss of innocence, especially given the actions of the Nazis and the scenario on the Russian Front. But that's just my opinion ... I'm sure others have different views.
Read the books of SVEN HASSEL. He passed away in 2012. A WWII veteran but not a NAZI.His books are very interesting,for example The Legion Of The Damned. Cross of Iron, a great film. The war in all its horror. One of my faves.
+Giorgio Marchese I have read them all. the first one was mote casino, Which was from my uncle. I read itt in my brothers car and thought itt flowing words.
Just keep in mind those poor men suffered horribly, the worst part is they knew they were losing and they did their best, got to give them some credit. They had so much against them, even the weather a lot of the causalities were from exposure to cold. I have a friend who's grandfather was on the eastern front, and he lost three toes to frostbite, it wasn't worth it at all, not for all the men who perished in that.
My Grandfather was a Tommy pow in Stalags in Germany /Poland for 6 years. He often mentioned the cold winters and frostbite Tommies endured. He said the Germans were reasonable with British troops and there was no brutality. The Germans didn't like swearing though.
It's small odds that he got out! Soviet encirclement was very tight. And Soviet labor camps murderous. He's a very lucky man indeed. Hopefully he didnt retreat to Berlin in spring 1945 as Soviets dished out final torturous blow there.
Sargeant Steiner ( Actor James Coburn) : Didn't your Fuhrer say that all class distinctions were to be abolished? Captain Stransky ( Actor Maximilian Schell ): I'm an officer of the Wehrmacht. I've never been a party member. I'm a Prussian aristocrat and I don't want to be put into the same category. Sargeant Steiner: So we agree for once. Good. Captain Stransky: But he is still our Fuhrer Sargeant Steiner: Unfortunately. Captain Stransky: This is a different question sergeant. That's not up to us to judge. Sargeant Steiner: Why do you want it so badly? It's just a worthless piece of metal. Look! Captain Stransky: It's not worthless to me. Sargeant Steiner: Why is it so important to you. Tell me captain, why? Captain Stransky: Sergeant,if i go back without the iron Cross, I couldn't face my family. Sargeant Steiner: [BOMB EXPLODING] Personally, sir, I don't feel you deserve the Iron Cross.

Wonderful movie. Wonderful music. "You want to get drunk? Go ahead! Get drunk in the middle of all this s...t! There's a Russian bullet waiting for you, too!"
Thanks for posting this! Great movie! "Steiner 2" with Richard Burton taking over as Steiner was a total failure. Problem with the poster is that it portrays a Waffen SS soldier where as Steiner and the rest were soldiers of the Heer (Army). "I will show you where the Iron Crosses grow" (Steiner to Stransky), referes to the graveyards where the headstones of the fallen were carved with the Iron Cross surmounting the soldiers information.
+Kubelwagen41 I am agree with you!. Where the Crosses of Iron grow , at the last moment in the movie when there is a duel between Steiner and Stransky on the battle field for showing to Stransky the site concretely where they grow .
I .am sure after seeing the Fall of Saigon in Vietnam War: the cruelty of all wars. I have never seen the powerful of North Vietnamese Army, the cruelty of war images. Always is the same. Politics doesn´t understand the real situation on battlefields !. Each soldier is only a number and not a man. Thanks to UA-cam I am revising all the Battles of World War One. And I have found out that soldiers and civilian people in the battle are like sheeps.
Politicians are detached. They are comfortable in their mansions and yachts. They drink wine and dance. Yet the regular person must endure his peers on battlefield, who like himself, are regular people forced to kill to survive. Truly war is a battle of politicians playing with paper armies, with the real armies bearing consequences of the politicians' action or inaction. The true villains are the politicians of democratic, communist, and other nations. They are the criminals at the top.
Joaquín Yániz Lascurain but who funds these wars ? How many American Corporation actively particpated in funding and suppling the materials to wage war. But the historians don't like to go there. Now do they. Just look at the records of the Numberg Trial. This court exposed this hypocrisy in history.No American was tried for war crimes against humanity. So they keep funding and suppling both sides with the capabilities to wage war against each other.
chris hassan Aaw, c'mon ! As much as I can blame america, before them, it was British Petroleum or French empire. The true hypocrisy is that as long as you are winning you will never be on trial for anything, whatever crime you've done.

Les soldats et les civiles devienent innocents comme les brebis.
***** I am very surprised about the aim of the last movies of war, because recently, I have seen Band of Brothers, . Furthermore, and specially in the movie of Hearts of Iron, about the Fury´s Sherman tank´s story, I am living a hate against german people. I am sure that german soldiers fought very well at war. For me, they weren´t guilty of crimes of war. I am not agree with this point of view, which devil was only living in Germany during World War II.
Good compilation of the "Cross of Iron" soundtrack. However, I suggest you make it an excellent compilation by adding in Steiner's platoon singing "In Meiner Kompanie" (AnneMarie), with (I think) Kurt Maag playing the harmonica- great German Army song pre-dating Nazi era. Great soundtrack, okay film, fantastic book, especially Cassell's unabridged version. One of my faves. I've read it over and over during the past 20 years.
The average German soldier fought for the fatherland and were now the troops that destroyed the Jews and the citizens of villages for whatever excuse there was. That was the SS and the Gestapo were responsible. Many of the SS units were front line forces and were involved in the acts of the Gestapo. Yes the average German soldier became a victim of Hitler's madness as well.
+Aubrey Young Actually, a lot of average german soldiers were involved in crimes of war against civilians or prisoners of war on Eastern front especially. Separating Gestapo and SS on the one side and Wehrmacht on the other side doesn't seem a very fair vision of what happened actually.
+karlotter68 Dear Sir, in all fighting branches of German army, war crimes were comitted, Kriegsmarine, by killing craft of sunk tankers, Luftwaffe by bombing civilians on the road or Wehrmacht by killing unlawfully people on Eastern and Western front. Non-fighting units like Feldgendarmerie were also involved in unlawful killings on Eastern front. This is documented. BUT, there is a lot to say about what was done by the Allies like Dresden or Hiroshima bombings that could be considered also as an act of crime against civilians. Rapes and murders by Western armies remains a relatively underexplored subject, at least on Western front. Nothing against German Army, I'm just using what I know from fellas like Karl Bartz or Pierre Clostermann which were directly involved in then conflict. Best regards.

One of the greatest war movies of all time.
Correction: anti-war films.
Don't forget the cast - Maxmillian Schell, James Mason, Senta Berger, and James Coburn. The supporting actors were also wonderful.
And the great David Warner ¡¡¡. He worked with Peckinpah in The Cable Hogue ballad and Straw dogs
It was a powehouse of actors. Forever memorialized by Peckinpah.
