THE LIBERATOR

EPIC WARTIME ANIMATION

Nicknamed the Thunderbirds, the 157th Infantry Regiment saw some of the toughest action of any part of the American army during the Second World War, fighting their way from Sicily through Italy, into France and on to help liberate the

Dachau concentration camp.

This four-part animated series is a spirited and moving attempt to tell the story of a ragtag bunch – made up of everyone from dustbowl cowboys to native Americans and Mexican farmhands.
