WWII: Free Mussolini | Operation Oak

The Nazi propaganda is finally crumbling. For decades, the daring rescue of Benito Mussolini in 1943 - known as Operation Oak - has been told through the lens of German special forces "heroics." But new, previously unpublished evidence is rewriting history. WWII as it has never been told before. Amazing restored library footage, never before heard eyewitness accounts, documents that have remained secret until now, photographs recently found and shown for the first time, astonishing computer reconstructions and moving re-enactments help us to relive not only the political and military climate of the time, but take us side-by-side with the soldiers to discover the embarrassing truth that has remained hidden for over half a century.
