Summary
Named for the insignia of the First Infantry Division, this World War II combat film (based on Fuiller's own war experiences) follows a handful of young GIs and their sergeant as they battle their way from North Africa through Sicily, Omaha Beach and Belgium to the ultimate horror of the concentration camp at Falkenau, Czechoslovakia. This restoration was based on Fuller's shooting script and extensive notes he made during production.
