Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
A veteran sergeant of World War I leads a squad in World War II, always in the company of the survivor Pvt. Griff, the writer Pvt. Zab, the Sicilian Pvt. Vinci and Pvt. Johnson, in Vichy French Africa, Sicily, D-Day at Omaha Beach, Belgium and France, and ending in a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia where they face the true horror of war.
A weary, cigar-chomping sergeant commands this ragtag squad through the relentless chaos of North Africa and the bloody sands of Normandy. This sprawling odyssey captures the exhausting reality of survival as a group of mismatched soldiers drifts from sunny Mediterranean coasts to the grim darkness of a concentration camp.
