Reviews in German: "Der amerikanische Kriegsberichterstatter Ernie Pyle begleitet eine Infanteriekompanie im Zweiten Weltkrieg auf die Schlachtfelder von Nordafrika und Italien. Keine heroischen Soldatenabenteuer, sondern ein skeptisches Kriegsdrama mit humaner Gesinnung, das ohne reißerische Spannung auskommt." (KIM)

"William Wellman's STORY OF G.I. JOE ist einer der exemplarischen Kriegsfime - oder sollte man nicht besser ANTI-KRIEGSFILME sagen - geblieben: Nicht die Verherrlichung des Helden steht im Vordergrund, sondern das menschliche Schicksal des eizelnen 'kleinen' Soldaten in einem unbarmherzigen Kriegsalltag. So wie in den Reportage von Pyle nicht der Autor im Vordergund steht, gelingt Wellman eine facettenreiche Schilderung der bunt zusammengewürfelten C-Kopagnie mit ihrem Leutnant/Hauptmann (Robert Mitchum) in den Kriegsjahren von Afrika und dem Krieg in Süditalien mit den Kämpfen um Monte Cassino. " (lhg 2004)
