Synopsis

The true story of Patton's bloodiest mission. 307 American soldiers - their target was Hammelburg, a POW camp sixty miles behind enemy lines. Their objective - to rescue the 1000 Allied prisoners held there. It was nearly the end of the war and three desperate German divisions stood in their way, ready to counterattack with a last-stand fierceness that American fighting men had never encountered before. The resulting bitter combat and shocking carnage came to be known as the Hammelburg Raid - one of the most controversial missions of World War II.
