THUMBNAIL_IMAGE

During WW II, 168 airmen of various allied countries were shot down by the enemy behind enemy lines. Through betrayals and hardships, instead of becoming prisoners of war, these men found themselves sentenced to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Miraculously, almost all the airmen survived. But our US airmen who suffered at the hands of the Gestapo, were not allowed to talk about it when they returned home. Until now. “Lost Airmen of Buchenwald” is a riveting documentary of this exceptional and true story.
