Top CriticJust when you think every chapter in World War II has been covered cinematically, along comes an energetic, uplifting and little-known angle about the good guys.

Another wonderfully involving story crafted by documentarian Christian Bauer (Missing Allen) ... is filled with great stories, many of them quite funny.
