Description
A gripping true story of bravery and survival during World War II. In November 1943, twenty-six American flight nurses and medics embarked on a mission to evacuate wounded troops from Albania, only to find themselves stranded in Nazi territory after a crash landing. With limited food and medical supplies, they relied on the kindness of courageous villagers who risked their own lives to share what little they had. As they struggled to survive, the Americans prayed for rescue while doing everything possible to stay alive. For months, they endured hunger, sickness, and danger, all while maintaining a sense of hope and determination. This remarkable account reveals the extraordinary story of these ordinary heroes who showed remarkable courage in the face of overwhelming adversity.
