Default Saints At War

Saints At War


If you are a history buff this is a must see movie! Sixty years ago, while in the prime of their youth, thousands of young Latter-day Saints humbly stepped forward, prepared to sacrifice their lives so that the nightmare of tyranny might end.

In this landmark documentary, you'll meet people like Victor B. Cline, an infantryman who was miraculously preserved on several occasions and attributed his good fortune to prayer, paying an honest tithing, and following the straight and narrow. You'll hear the account of Neal A. Maxwell, who, while under direct fire, felt divine intervention on his behalf that he attributes to the prayer of his mother thousands of miles away. And you'll meet John L. Flade, who, as a young sergeant in the German army, faced the dilemma of shooting at enemies who were fellow Latter-day Saints.

Drawing on the hundreds of oral and written histories from Church leaders and veterans around the world, this stunning DVD chronicles the harsh realities of war and the miracles that seemed both abundant and ever present--the remarkable stories of Saints at War.

It came out on DVD in 2001 but I also beleive it was selectively shown in theaters. A quick internet search will lend an Offical website on the movie.

Saints at War is an incredible documentary. the stories and testimonies from both sides were unbelievable.

The soldier from Arizona who kept trying to shoot the running German soldier and kept missing. It turned out the German was a member of the church. It brought a sniffle.

Saints and Soldiers is also really good! Saints and Soldiers is a full length movie, while Saints at War tells of many different stories. The story of Saints and Soldiers focuses on what member Over43 recounts from Saints at War. Both are amazing films.


Saints and Soldiers


"Saints and Soldiers" is a dramatic, intense and heroic WWII film about members of the Greatest Generation struggling to be both good men and good soldiers.
In-mid December 1944, while Hitler's Army blitzkriegs through the Ardennes Forest in Belgium. American sharpshooter Corporal Nathan Greer, known as Deacon, finds himself held captive with over one hundred other American Soldiers in a snow covered-field.

As panic and confusion ensue the German soldiers open fire on the American Prisoners, in the historical event now known as the Malmedy Massacre. Greer, his friend Gordon Gunderson and a handful of others escape the massacre by hiding in the nearby woods.

The small band of soldiers come across a stranded British intelligence officer with valuable information to be delivered to the Allied forces, further upping the stakes of their already dangerous situation.

With few weapons, no food and strained camaraderie, this tiny band must take on the unforgiving winter to fight their way back to Allied occupied territory.

I just finished watching the "Saints and Soldiers". I can see why they won numerous awards.
