| Summary: | A one-hour expanded report on the Ritchie Boys, a secret U.S. intelligence unit from World War II. This broadcast includes interviews and footage not broadcast previously. Many members of the unit were German-born Jews, who were rigorously trained to gather information before they were sent back to Europe to assist with the Allied effort to defeat Nazism. Living members of the Ritchie Boys discuss the role they played in helping to end the war. Includes interviews with Guy Stern, Paul Fairbrook, Max Lerner (new for this expanded rebroadcast), and Victor Brombert, former members of the Ritchie Boys; and David Frey, a professor of history and director of the Center for Holocaust Studies at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
