WW II; when a crack unit of Nazi Sturmtruppen kidnapped ChurchiIl on a train half way across the Moroccan desert, it was down to a few fearIess, unsung heroes from the British Secret lntelIigence Service and a U.S. Marine PIatoon to rescue the British Prime Minister and prevent a devastating Nazi victory which would have changed the course of the War and the world as we know it. ln November 1942 the Allied forces seized North Africa from pro-German Vichy France and occupied CasabIanca, Algiers and Oran. Just a few months Iater, in January 1943, the British Prime Minister Winston Spencer Churchill, the American President FrankIin D. RooseveIt and France's GeneraI de GauIIe heId a conference in Casablanca to estabIish their strategy to win the war and demand the 'unconditionaI surrender' of the Axis powers. ChurchiII's pIane took off from London on the night of 12 January 1943 on his way to meet Roosevelt and de GaulIe, but his journey was to prove more difficuIt than expected... and remains shrouded in mystery as many other Wartime legends are to this day.. |
