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.

The Truth always comes out!

I consider myself a freelance historian in the WW2 discipline, and I had no idea the WERETH 11 existed. History looks back at the men of MALMEDY as the wrongfully executed soldiers of the Battle of the Bulge. However, there were several more accounts just like MALMEDY and this documentary brings one these travesties to life! From a detailed background and explanation of what the Nazi's called THE ARDENNES OFFENSIVE, to a detailed analysis of the American Front lines. You as a viewer are easily brought back to December of 1944.The film was very detailed by interviewing eye witnesses, veterans, and descendants of the fallen. Overall it is a very touching story that explains good will always prevail over evil. If you're a history lover, especially the WW2/Battle of the Bulge genre, this film is for you.

Wow..

This comment is in response to former reviews.

The negativity in a few of these reviews are gut-wrenching and I honestly can't understand why I'm surprised. Sensationalism? Fat white man? Seriously?

This is a story telling film.. Yes there are reenacted segments. It's a story telling of this one particular story. Just as Saving Private Ryan was. What is the problem with that? There is none! Or there shouldn't be. Complaints about not finding actual German soldiers for the film is quite shallow.. How about the Germans that were children at the time of the war that gave eyewitness accounts to what they saw? You failed to mention the gentleman that began to sob from giving his account..

Sadly, from some of these reviews, it seems that history should only be told as long as it fits what you want it to be and not for what it was. Unfortunately this way of thinking is a complete parallel to how Americans think... Believe even. Revisionist history at its finest... How about being upset for what George Schomo said at the end of the film? Of course not. That wouldn't phase you in the least bit..

You all must have been fantastic students during your educational years.

While plenty of reviewers try to channel their inner Gene and Roger, a small few need to not. I'll be excited to see just how long it takes before I get the 1st Amendment argument thrown my way. 3...2..1.
