episode description
For the first time, unpublished documents and photos reveal the truth behind Operation Oak, the daring liberation of Benito Mussolini. New testimonies, filmed material, and hidden archives dismantle the Nazi version and reconstruct the real chain of events. After Mussolini’s arrest on July 25, 1943, Italian, German, and Allied secret services raced to control him. He was moved through Rome, Ponza, Maddalena, Abruzzo, and finally Campo Imperatore, believed impregnable—until a 14-minute raid freed him. It was 14 minutes of pure military boldness, which we will relive minute by minute, with German repertory films, re-enactments and graphic reconstructions, in order to discover the incredible truth.
