    The Wereth Eleven retraces the steps eleven black GI's from the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion took when their unit was overrun by Germans at the start of the Battle of the Bulge. Their 10-mile trek from their battery position to Wereth, Belgium would be the last journey of their lives as a local resident turned them in to an SS scouting party. Subsequently all eleven were butchered and killed in one of the least understood, as well as unknown, war crimes of WWII.

    (although I'm slightly put off by the fact that the SS officer
    in the promotional poster doesn't appear to be wearing the
    correct eagle on his cap?! And the VW vehicle has WH number
    plates instead of SS...... For such a large budget piece it
    seems a little odd....)

    Anyway, it's out on DVD on the 19th March and
    I'll get a copy via LoveFilm rather than buying it..
