Series Description

The Gallant Men TV show was a 60 minute war action series on ABC about U.S. infantry troops who stormed through Italy in their fight against the Nazis. Unlike what happened in real life, Captain Benedict and his men absolutely destroyed the Germans in nearly every battle with hardly any casualties or even serious injuries for themselves. It was a "feel good" series for American audiences but had no relationship with history whatsoever!
