WWII's Greatest Raids

A brave band of GI's are tasked with saving the last bridge and final gateway to the Third Reich. The bridge is bristling with explosives, and the enemy plans to destroy the bridge if the American unit assaults it.

US Army Rangers spearhead the biggest amphibious landing in history: the allied Invasion of France. They must conquer cliffs before taking on the enemy and destroy the guns that threaten the Allied fleet.

The Black Devils, a joint US-Canadian elite unit, must mount a do-or-die night-time assault up a treacherous mountain, in extreme weather, to take on heavily-entrenched, battle-hardened German defenses.

The SAS launches a raid 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.

British commandos attempt a head-on amphibious assault against a heavily-defended enemy port. Their mission: to take out the dock facilities before they become a base for Germany's biggest battleship.

British light infantry must crash land by glider in Northern France, then take and hold two key bridges in the hands of a heavily armed enemy.
