Episodes
Rangers Lead the Way
U.S. Army Rangers play a crucial role in the Invasion of Normandy, the largest amphibious assault in history. They must conquer vertical cliffs before taking on the determined enemy. Then destroy the guns that threaten to blow the Allied fleet out of the water.
Mountain Massacre
The Black Devils, an elite mountain warfare unit made up of American and Canadian commandos, take on heavily entrenched German defenses during World War II in 1943. This is the First Special Service Force in Italy mounting a do-or-die night-time assault up a treacherous mountain, in extreme weather.
Hitler's Last Bridge
A brave band of regular GI's are tasked with saving the last bridge across the Rhine River and final gateway to the Third Reich. The Ludendorff Bridge (or Bridge at Remagen) is bristling with German guns and loaded with explosives. Worse, the enemy plan to destroy the bridge if the American unit assaults it.
Strike from the Sky
The British Light Infantry enters northern France by glider and then must seize and hold two critical bridges from a heavily armed enemy. The Ranville bridge spans the River Orne and the Bénouville bridge crosses the Caen Canal to the west. Operation Deadstick must succeed to secure the beachheads and allow British forces to break out of Normandy.
SAS vs. Rommel
The British Army's Special Air Service launches a daring raid behind enemy lines on a German airfield in the Sahara Desert. If they succeed in destroying Rommel's supply planes, their action could turn the tide of war and allow the British to drive the Germans out of North Africa.
Commando Do or Die
A look back at the British Commandos' cunning raid in 1942; in a ship disguised as a German destroyer, they targeted the vital, heavily-defended German port at St. Nazaire, France. Their mission: to take out the dock facilities before they become a base for Germany's biggest battleship.
