December 1943. Hitler's most elite paratroopers, the feared Green Devils of the 1st Fallschirmjager Division, prepared their death trap in the Italian town of Ortona. These were the same soldiers who conquered Crete, survived Stalingrad, and never been defeated. Their enemy? Canadian farm boys. Volunteers from wheat fields of Alberta. Lumberjacks from British Columbia. Men who never fought in a city before. The Germans laughed. It would be a massacre. But what happened next shocked the entire Wehrmacht. The international press called it Little Stalingrad. This is the story of how amateur soldiers invented modern urban warfare tactics and defeated the worlds most battle-hardened veterans. Discover the revolutionary mouse-holing tactic, the haunting Christmas dinner inside a bombed church, and the brutal house-to-house combat that rewrote military history. This battle is still studied in military academies worldwide. Subscribe for more untold stories of incredible human courage and innovation from World War 2.
