Did this influence RED DAWN?


Seems to have a lot of similarities!

Lone allied soldier helps a group of kids/teens to fight against the occupying invading forces..

Could be, or it could be a coincidence. There had been numerous incidents of teenaged resistance in wartime from around the world. The original story for Red Dawn was more pessimistic and is often compared to Lord of the Flies; wherein the group was younger and in-fighting within the group was a major part of the story.
