"The Victors" follows an platoon of American infantrymen through combat from Italy to the occupation of Germany.

It features a great cast of mostly character actors, and covers plenty of topics from the war never touched on before in film.

I've not seen this available on DVD anywhere, which is a real shame. If you ever come across it, check it out.

A group of American soldiers manages to survive over the course of World War II, from the Battle of Britain to the fall of the Third Reich. Along the way, a number of unfortunate incidents occur. White soldiers violently abuse fellow black soldiers, a deserter is summarily executed on New Year's Eve and a sergeant takes advantage of a shell-shocked French woman. War is hell for the winners and the losers in this episodic meditation on the horrors that exist on and off the field of battle.
