The Ritchie Boys

This documentary tells the story of the elite American information unit which was mostly made up of German and Czech Jewish Academics who immigrated before the war. The members of the unit, who were trained in the Ritchie Camp in Maryland, were involved with planning ways to break the SS morale and they are today credited with being the ones who succeeded in bringing an early end to the war. A number of people from the unit, today in their 80s, meet and tell their stories in this film. Includes photographs, archival footage and testimonies.
