Bridge over the Elbe or The Legion of No Return (Italian: Quel maledetto ponte sull'Elba,[1] Spanish: No importa morir) is a 1969 Italian-Spanish war film directed by León Klimovsky and starring Tab Hunter,[2] Howard Ross and Erika Wallner.[3]

Synopsis

[edit]

Germany, 1945, in the waning days of the Second World War, American and Soviet forces are swiftly advancing. To thwart the Red Army from advancing too far westward, the U.S. command instructs Sergeant Richard to demolish a bridge over the Elbe with a team of just five men. However, the bridge is heavily fortified by German soldiers, making the mission exceedingly difficult.
