Heroes for Sale is a 1933 pre-Hayes Code Depression-era drama directed by William A. Wellman (Wings). During the First World War, Roger Winston was ordered to destroy a German machine gun nest with a handful of men, including Tom Holmes, who was from the same town as him. Tom is wounded while capturing a German officer, but Roger receives the honors, although he has acted cowardly, which he refrains from admitting.
