I liked the "sequal" mainly because Robert Mitchum, Curt Jurgens, Klaus Lowitsch and one other guy the one who played Anselm from the first movie; were in it. However, I hated it when Krueger and Anselm were both killed in the sequel.

Sequel you say, What's it called? Peckinpah directed it? Oh wait a minute, Break through? Not very good, and not Peckinpah....the farm house meeting with Richard Burton and Rod Steiger?....bad sequel Stransky was supposed to get nailed when he couldn't reload near the rail car at the end of Cross of Iron.....Oh well, I guess he got promoted to major and transferred back to the western front in record time.
Yup, Peckinpah was a great director and excellent actors. Can't find anything bad to say about Cross of Iron....
Hänschen klein ging allein
In die weite Welt hinein,
Stock und Hut steht ihm gut,
Er ist wohlgemut.
Doch die Mutter weinet sehr,
hat ja nun kein Hänschen mehr.
Da besinnt sich das Kind,
kehrt nach Haus' geschwind
