Producer Dor Schary (1905-1980) managed to ensure that filming wrapped up five days ahead of schedule. He ordered the construction of 25 sets in one soundstage in advance and the installation of props on them, instructed set designer Hans Peters (1894-1980) to meticulously paint the details of the locations and scenes that would be filmed in those settings, and to indicate the preliminary placement of the cameras, and then distributed copies of the resulting drawings to director William A. Wellman (1896-1975) and cinematographer Paul Vogel (1899-1975).
Screenwriter and producer Robert Pirosh (1910-1989) wrote the screenplay based on the recollections of an infantryman who participated in the Battle of the Bulge (December 1944 – January 1945). Pirosh himself did not fight as part of the 101st Airborne Division, but wanted to write a script that accurately reflected what had happened.
Twenty veterans of the 101st Airborne Division, who fought in the vicinity of Bastogne, Belgium, trained the actors and appeared as extras.
