November, 1944
General George Patton assigns the brave soldiers of the United States’ 95th Infantry Division an impossible objective: liberate the legendary fortified stronghold of Metz, France from Nazi occupation. Against heavy resistance and steep odds, the 95th succeeds with their task, claiming a key Allied victory and earning them the nicknames “The Bravest of the Brave” and “The Iron Men of Metz”.
November, 1999
Fifty-five years later, surviving members of the heralded 95th return to the battlefields where they made their mark upon history. Greeted once again as heroes, they recount the horrors they faced, and honor their fallen comrades.
The filmmakers spent over three years documenting the stories and travels of this historic World War II unit. Often tragic, sometimes humorous, always inspirational, these courageous veterans pass on their strategies for survival, and life lessons for generations to come.
The 95th: The Iron Men of Metz first aired on PBS (WTTW Chicago). A portion of the proceeds from this documentary will benefit the 95th Division Association. For more information on the 95th Infantry, please visit www.the95thmovie.com and www.95divassociation.com.
