| Synopsis |
|
In the summer of 1942, the Folgore
Division para-troopers, who had to
endure a long and hard training in
Italy, are sent to the Lybian desert.
The young soldiers, who believed that
their destination was Malta, realise
that they are trapped in a desert,
where they have to live in big holes
dug in the sand, and face the well
equipped English army with insuffcient
means. The famous battle of El-Alamein
develops, where heroic fighters try
their hardest to stop the tanks of
General Montgomery. The fight ends
with the victory of the English, and
the destruction of the heroic formation.
The movie shows the lives of some
of the para-troopers, heroes since
their departure from Italy to their
defeat. |
