Another example of the heroic sacrifice of Slavic people during great
wars will be seen in THE FORGOTTEN 500 based on a Gregory Freeman book

German oil fields in Romania. They found themselves parachuting out of
crippled planes and into the arms of Yugoslav villagers who, despite
being surrounded by the Germans, risked their own lives to help the
downed airmen in the fight against the Nazis. With crucial fighter
support from the Tuskegee Airmen, American cargo planes descended into
Nazi territory for the greatest secret rescue mission of World War II.
