The Bridge
Die Brücke
1959 · Film · 103 min
Directed by Bernhard Wicki
A group of German boys are ordered to protect a small bridge in their home village during the waning months of the second world war. Truckloads of defeated, cynical Wehrmacht soldiers flee the approaching American troops, but the boys, full of enthusiasm for the "blood and honor" Nazi ideology, stay to defend the useless bridge. The film is based on a West German anti-war novel of the same name, written by Gregor Dorfmeister.

Reminds me of this film. "Die Brücke" (the bridge)

Not exactly the same but heart wrenching (and gut spilling). IIRC we watched this in history class once.
