Another featured story is "Last Stand at Saipan," recounting Bill Nelson's military service from his enlistment in the National Guard in 1937 through his deployment with the 27th Infantry Division to Saipan in 1944 during the Japanese fanatical "Banzai" attacks, with soldiers engaged in defensive combat operations on the beach.
Lt. Leo Graves, a young officer with Company F near Stuttgart, Germany, faces an impossible choice when his unit gets pinned down by "The Thing"—a devastating concrete and steel tank trap that blocks their advance and has already claimed heavy casualties. Drawing on his demolition training from basic, Graves loads himself with explosives and crawls through merciless enemy fire to destroy the roadblock, knowing the odds of survival are slim. This is the story of a soldier who wanted to live, but discovered what it truly meant to be one.
During the closing days of World War II in the Burmese jungle, Captain Budley and Lt. James receive orders to infiltrate a Japanese military headquarters and retrieve top secret documents—by convincing the enemy troops that Japan has already surrendered. What begins as an audacious bluff sets off a dangerous game of deception where honor, doubt, and quick thinking collide in the dense jungle.
Sgt. Bill Nelson of the 27th Infantry Division lands on Saipan to face desperate Japanese resistance, including savage nighttime banzai charges and heavily fortified enemy positions. As the fighting intensifies and his company struggles against a well-defended strongpoint, Nelson demonstrates the grit and marksmanship earned through years with the National Guard, pushing forward through waves of enemy attacks. This is the story of one soldier's fight in one of the Pacific War's bloodiest campaigns.
Caught in a devastating barrage laid down by both Nazi and American forces near St. Lô, a soldier named Neeland finds himself pinned down in the chaos of exploding ordnance and flying debris. As the thunderous assault rages on, Neeland must survive the deadly onslaught and make it through to the other side.
When a green lieutenant named Niles arrives to command Baker Company during the brutal summer of 1944, the exhausted soldiers of the outfit quickly lose faith in their inexperienced new officer—especially Sgt. Kaminsky, who's kept them alive through fifty-one days of continuous combat. But as Niles struggles to prove himself and earn their respect, he'll discover just how much courage it takes to lead men into danger. Watch as this "Boy Wonder" transforms from a cautious newcomer into the soldier his company needs him to be.
