In late October 1943, Japanese American soldiers in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team were ordered into the rugged Vosges Mountains in France.

Many of the soldiers had volunteered from concentration camps where their families had been imprisoned after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Their mission was to reach roughly 275 Texas National Guard members who have been cut off and surrounded by elite German fighting forces in the dense, foggy terrain.

The five-day running battle that ensued became know as "The Rescue of the Lost Battalion."
