3. What movie is this a description of?
The action takes place in the Taman Peninsula in the Caucasus in 1943. The Germans are in the midst of their retreat from Stalingrad. The film was the director’s last great feature and his only war movie. He supposedly was heavily drinking during the shoot. The movie is based on the novel "The Willing Flesh" by Willi Heinrich. The movie follows the book fairly closely. The movie was filmed on location in Yugoslavia with the cooperation of the Yugoslavian army. Because the production ran out of money, the ending had to be improvised. The release met with mixed reviews and it did not do well at the box office. It’s reputation has been rising over the years, however.

I had Guns of Navarone and Cross of Iron. But I didn't know the second (if bojan is correct).
