The lost battalion
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
Caught between two lines of fire, the Germans gave them two options: surrender or die. They chose a third.
The lost battalion is a true story about America soldiers, led by a civilian-turned-soldier, Major Charles Whittlesey (Rick Schroder). It was a company of brave young men, made up mostly of tough, young Irish, Italian, Jewish and Polish immigrants from New York City. They became trapped behind enemy lines towards the end of WWI but fought against the odds, and many of the survivors were honoured as heroes upon their return.
