In early 1945, over 7,000 French volunteers of the SS Charlemagne Division were sent into the collapsing Eastern Front as the Red Army launched its brutal Pomeranian offensive. Surrounded, outgunned, and cut off from retreat, these men faced annihilation in the frozen towns of Belgard and Körlin. This documentary tells the harrowing true story of their final battles, close-quarters combat, mass casualties, and desperate breakout attempts as Soviet tanks and infantry closed in from all sides. Featuring first-hand accounts, rare archival details, and the fate of those few who survived to reach Berlin.
