Company of Heroes (film)

By December 1944, as the Allies advances into Nazi Germany, Lt. Joe Conti orders a squad of American soldiers from the 2nd Infantry Division, led by Sgt.

They come across an American OSS agent suffering from horrific burn wounds, and learn that the Nazis are developing a nuclear bomb which will enable them to turn the tide of war and achieve victory.

Nearing death, the OSS agent asks the soldiers to complete his mission: extract Dr. Luca Gruenewald, the lead scientist of the research program, who is willing to defect.

Joined by Ivan Pozarsky of the Red Army and Brent Willoughby of the RAF, Burrows and Ransom meets “Kestrel”, the OSS agent's contact, at the opera house.

She explains that following the failure of the prototype near Leidenfeld, Dr. Gruenewald has finished constructing a functional nuclear bomb, which is to be tested by the Waffen-SS the next day.

Aaron Peck at home entertainment website High-Def Digest gave the film three stars and said: "It's a decent little DTV movie about World War II, but it isn't able to crawl out of the self-made trench of its miniscule [sic] budget.
