Yugoslavia

THE TIME: May, 1943. THE PLACE: Yugoslavia. THE MISSION: Capture Tito dead or alive and destroy the Partisan nation! 120,000 German soldiers unleash their fury against the partisans nesting in the crags and passes of the Balkan Mountains! In short supply of ammunition, food and medicine, the Yugoslavian people stand firm and fight back with ferocious determination to triumph and survive against the mighty forces of the Nazis, who use every possible weapon from tank Divisions and waves of bombers to hundreds of trained killer-dogs! Filmed with the co-operation of the Yugoslavian army, this is the true story of THE FIFTH OFFENSIVE. Four epic weeks in the tragic history of World War II, the drama of the men and women who fought it and starring the magnificent RICHARD BURTON as Tito - the man and leader who brought his people to victory.
