the ritchie boys
THE RITCHIE BOYS is the untold story of a group of young men who fled Nazi Germany and returned to Europe as soldiers in US-uniforms. They knew the psychology and the language of the enemy better than anybody else. In Camp Ritchie, Maryland, they were trained in intelligence and psychological warfare. Not always courageous, but determined, bright, and inventive they fought their own kind of war. They saved lives. They were victors, not victims. However, the story of their heroism, their achievements and their long-term impact on military tactics remained forgotten. The film THE RITCHIE BOYS not only tells the story of their bravery, it also reveals the contribution the Ritchie Boys made to the victory over Nazi-Germany. This is a deeply personal account of a decisive moment in history given by the last of the surviving Ritchie Boys. In THE RITCHIE BOYS they once again show their determination, courage, humor, and imagination.
