Camp Ritchie, Maryland was the unlikely locale for one of the great stories of the Second World War. There, the Army assembled a unique unit, comprised largely of German-Jewish émigrés with the task of demoralizing the German army through psychological warfare.  In this fascinating documentary, many of the surviving “boys” speak about their experiences for the first time, providing a riveting collection of stories that journey from espionage training, to the front lines of D-Day, to the interrogation of Nazi officers.
