1952: "Decision before dawn", a different World War II movie

"Decision before dawn" is a very different World War II movie.    

It's not "The longest day" or "Saving Private Ryan", a couple of wonderful movies about D-Day 1944.    It's not "Casablanca" or a love story either.    


The film is about Germans helping the allies march through Germany with Richard Basehart as the US soldier who recruited Germans.  


The story is intense.   We've grown so accustomed to Germans as the bad guys that we forget many were opposed to Hitler and what he was doing.


It is a good movie.    However, be patient with the story because it takes time to develop.
