Synopsis:

Directed by Ari Taub as a companion piece to his earlier WWII feature THE FALLEN, THE FINAL SACRIFICE re-examines the Second World War from the perspective of an ill-fated German Army platoon waiting out their final days in Northern Italy. The saga begins in 1944, when Lieutenant Bruchner (Thomas Pohn), a man in charge of a German reserve defence unit, must contend with the ill plight of his men: starving, physically unclean, and desperately in need of reinforcements from Mussolini's loyalists, they appear to stand little chance of survival. The reality of this situation grows even clearer when the loyalists actually show up, led by Lieutenant Gianini (Fabio Sartor), and refuse to fight against their fellow countrymen in a battle that they uniformly perceive as a lost cause.

One of the greatest untold stories of World War 2. Based on letters found fifty years after the end of second World War, The Final Sacrifice is the story of the final days of a doomed German army platoon waiting out the end of the war in Northern Italy.
