"Doom Squad" depicts soldiers ordered to hold back the Reds, facing a deadly Japanese assault, with a protagonist recounting the tank battle and his unit's struggle for survival. "Badlands" follows a soldier who survives combat in a tree during a Japanese attack, then faces enemy fire while attempting to reach his commanding officer, Captain Woodoo, ultimately earning a medal for his actions. A third story involves an Air Force pilot who must reach his command post with a dead radio battery, eventually making contact with a caterpillar unit for assistance as help arrives at dawn.
Lieutenant Nick Ruane commands a heavy tank in the 3rd Armored Division, haunted by nightmares of a fiery death inside what he calls his "steel coffin"—but his skill under fire keeps his crew alive through brutal combat. When German survivors capture his tank and use it to infiltrate American lines toward Ste. Birgit, Ruane's dread transforms into determination, and he sets out with the Colonel to reclaim his command before it reaches enemy territory. Facing smoke, chaos, and the very scenario that's plagued his dreams, this veteran tanker discovers something unexpected about himself in the heat of battle.
A lone officer finds himself lost and alone behind enemy lines in the New Guinea jungle, battling hunger, fear, and the constant threat of Japanese patrols closing in. As he learns to survive in the hostile terrain—hiding among the crawling things on the jungle floor and turning the hunters into the hunted—he discovers an unexpected reserve of courage he didn't know he possessed. When a chance discovery leads him to a major enemy ammunition cache, this green officer's actions catch the attention of his commanding officer with consequences that reshape his entire war.
Fast Armor showcases the modern weapons and vehicles that define today's military strategy, from high-speed armored personnel carriers to mobile artillery capable of crossing any terrain. This 1965 look at contemporary Army technology reveals how fewer troops equipped with expert training and advanced firepower have replaced the massive forces of World War II.
A squad led by Sarge Landry is ordered to hold a critical position against Chinese Communist forces at any cost—a suicide mission that leaves the men contemplating their loved ones back home while mortars rain down and enemy armor closes in. With air support from Navy Corsairs and Army Mustangs making a crucial difference, the squad must decide whether to stand their ground or attempt a desperate escape through the darkness. "Doom Squad" is a raw, unflinching look at soldiers facing impossible odds in Korea.
