Silent Wings - Savage Death

The unit history of the 319th Glider Artillery Battalion during WW II: The 319th, an original part of the old U.S. 82nd Infantry Division, was transformed into a glider unit in 1942. Of the more than 16,000,000 servicemen and women who served their country during WW II, less than 1% were required to ride into battle in a motorless aircraft, in what the History Channel has described as "Suicide Missions of WW II". These men were some of the few who were involved in suicide missions and were not 100% volunteers.

Follow the exploits of the intrepid men of the 319th into: North Africa, Italy, Normandy Invasion, Operation Market Garden, Battle of the Bulge, Assault on the Siegfried Line, Destruction of the Ruhr Pocket, Occupation of Cologne, and finally the crossing of the Elbe River and meeting the Russians just west of Berlin.
