Original titleThe Sledge Patrol: A WWII Epic of Escape, Survival and Victory
In 1943, using dogsleds to patrol a 500-mile stretch of the Greenland coast, the wartime mission of Danish and Norwegian hunters was to guard against Nazi interlopers. However, when spotting the enemy, they were forced to escape, walking 56 miles to get back to base. This is their story.
