Скачать или смотреть Charles Whittlesey and the Lost Battalion: Courage in the Argonne

In October 1918, 554 American soldiers walked into the Argonne Forest. Six days later, only 194 walked out.
The Lost Battalion is one of the most harrowing stories of the First World War—a tale of immigrant soldiers from the streets of New York City who became trapped behind German lines during the deadliest battle in American history. Surrounded, starving, shelled by their own artillery, and attacked by flamethrowers, they held their ground against impossible odds.
This is the story of Major Charles Whittlesey, the reluctant hero who led them through six days of hell, refused a German surrender demand, and brought his men home—only to be destroyed by the war he survived.
Featuring the incredible true stories of Cher Ami, the wounded pigeon who saved them all, and Private Abraham Krotoshinsky, the Polish Jewish immigrant who slipped through enemy lines to bring rescue.
A sleep documentary for history lovers. Close your eyes and let the story carry you.
