The truth is way stranger than fiction,” muses one interviewee in this unbelievable true account of an incredible war time saga.

Through vivid first-person accounts, re-enactments, archival footage and learned commentary, the film reveals how their efforts disrupted a vital supply route between Germany and the Italian front to bring about the surrender of Innsbruck to Allied Forces.
