Due for release this summer 2008, 'The Forgotten Battalion' is the untold story of 3/506th P.I.R. Told from over seventy hours of interviews from the few remaining 3rd Battalion veterans, this DVD tells the definitive story of 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, from their formation at Camp Toccoa, through to the end of WW2. With over three years of meticulous research and with historical contributions from dozens of veterans, this is the most complete and definitive story of the regiment ever told. From the 'Battle of Bloody Gully', one of the most decisive actions of the Normandy campaign, to the liberation of Eindhoven. From the terrifying frozen 'Battle of the Bulge' to the capture of Hitler's Alpine retreat, 'The Eagles Nest'. Filmed in High Definition, these are the frank and moving testimonies of some of the veterans from 'The Forgotten Battalion'.
