The Devil's Brigade / Die Spezialeinheit [Blu-ray]

The year is 1942 and Sam Byrne is a simple farm boy from Wyoming, but when the United States enters World War II, the dreamer soon finds himself in the midst of the harsh reality of a U.S. Army training camp. Sam quickly catches the eye of his superiors, who select him for a uniquely elite unit - the First Special Service Force, that legendary devil brigade tasked with operating independently behind enemy lines in Europe to weaken the enemy. From then on, Sam and his comrades have to fight for their survival every day in the Italian hinterland, because the decision on the victory or defeat of an entire army lies in their hands. Based on the true story and the countless letters in which the real Sam Byrne told his family about hope and despair on the front line, director Dave Bresnahan has staged THE DEVILS BRIGADE - THE SPECIAL UNIT, a thrillingly epic war film about the brave men of the Devil's Brigade who risked their lives for a better future - and became heroes for generations of soldiers. High tension guaranteed!
