The confrontation at San Pietro was one of the fiercest conflicts of World War II. An Italian city, San Pietro, was taken over as a German stronghold where thousands of Allied soldiers were massacred. In this grueling, bloody battle, the 143rd infantry lost twelve of its sixteen tanks and over a thousand U.S. soldiers. The faces of the fallen are illustrated alive and well before battle gets under way - a sharp reminder of the gravity of war - but despite the unfortunate loss, the documentary emphasizes the resilience and honor of those who survived. The Battle of San Pietro, a unique and insightful WWII documentary, delivers an honest, unbiased look at the actualities of war. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
