Battle of San Pietro (The Film Detective Restored Version)

Over 1,100 U.S. soldiers were killed during the takeover of a small Italian village that blocked the way for the Allied Forces against Germany. This short documentary, directed by John Huston, is a stirring examination of that important battle. It provides such a blunt look at war that the US Army refused to show it, feeling it would be damaging to troop morale.
