The story reveals the extraordinary journey of Jewish boys who fled Nazi-occupied Europe, only to return as U.S. soldiers during World War II. Known as the Ritchie Boys, these young men utilized their deep understanding of the German language and culture to serve in elite intelligence teams across Europe. Their unique skills enabled them to interrogate German prisoners and gather crucial intelligence, significantly impacting the war effort and saving countless American lives while fighting for both their new homeland and the families they left behind.
