À propos de ce contenu audio

 In the heart of World War II, a routine transport flight with 4 members of an aircrew from the 61st Troop Carrier Squadron, 314th Troop Carrier Group along with 26 Army Air Forces nurses and medics on board is swallowed by a ferocious storm and thrown tragically off course. Their plane crash-lands deep within the treacherous, snow-covered mountains of Albania, a land occupied by German forces and torn by a brutal three-way conflict.

Against all odds, all 30 passengers and crew survive the impact, but their ordeal is far from over. Stranded in hostile territory, they must navigate a landscape of unimaginable danger, facing starvation, illness, and the constant threat of capture. Their survival hinges on the aid of local Albanian partisans and a sacred, ancient code of honor—Besa—that compels their protectors to lay down their own lives for their guests.

This episode recounts their harrowing five-month struggle for freedom, the heart-wrenching separation of three nurses, and the audacious rescue missions launched by British and American special forces. Tune in to uncover the incredible true story of resilience and survival that was kept a closely guarded secret for more than half a century.
