Most decorated unit in World War II
Review date: 2007-10-06 Rating: 10 out of 10
This movie is about the U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team during World War II. We follow the unit from its formation in 1943, through boot camp and finally to the battlefields of Italy and France.
It is a good war film typical of those filmed of the time. The one difference is, this unit was formed of Japanese-Americans. The soldiers were volunteers, and many had their family placed into internment camps by the U.S. Govt. The movie does not only a good job of depicting their heroism in war and the face discrimination in their own country. But also how the individual soldiers dealt with their families being interred. They fought not just for America and the liberation of Europe, but for family honor.
