Three minute trailer for an independent documentary, (still in progress 2012), about the invasion of North Africa 1942-43. Featured are more than 35 interviews with American and German veterans from world-wide searches, relevant to the story. All are in their late 80's, early 90's. *Some have since passed. Their stories, (only glimpses), could very well be the last we see from a generation who sacrificed so much to save humanity from a global crisis of catastrophic proportion.

The re-creations, (accented by period & content correct archival footage), are based on actual testimonies. The project was inspired by personal journals from the producer's father. The story follows the experiences of Army and Navy veterans, with a focus on the 9th Division, (some of whom were aboard AP-59). The troop transport was torpedoed and run aground during Operation Torch on November 7th 1942.

This project is primarily the work of 'one' filmmaker-producer-historian, who occasionally receives help from a few reliable film people. The film is dedicated to the WWII veterans in the story, and to ALL veterans.

Support team; Toni Fraticelli, Leilani Goode, (Line Producer), Rob Coccagna, Kurt Eberling, Ted Dyer, GT, Geoff Morris, and a few others. Matt Carroll's 9th Division Reenactment group have recently joined the project. The hundred or more WWII reenactors have been the backbone of the project, and the veterans have become family.
