Description
This is the inspiring true story of Captain Robert Trimble, who laid his life at the line to rescue hundreds of World War II POWs, including women and children, at the Eastern Front.
The United States again and again offered to lend a hand, but were refused. With relations between the Allies strained and the crisis growing, an eleventh-hour plan used to be conceived for an undercover rescue mission. In total secrecy, the OSS chose an difficult to understand American air force detachment stationed at a Ukrainian airfield. The person they picked to undertake it used to be veteran 8th Air Force bomber pilot Captain Robert Trimble.
With little covert training, Trimble took the mission. He would live on by wit, courage, and determination. That is the compelling true story of an American hero, who risked the whole thing to bring his fellow soldiers and abandoned civilians home to safety and freedom.
