Who would come
out on top in a battle between a sleek, deadly U-Boat, armed with the latest
German technology, and an antiquated fishing trawler with a deck gun
scrounged from the last war? Bet you think you know the answer, don’t you? Well, the
unlikely story of the HM Trawler Garnet might just surprise you! |
Meet Kit Larson
- the toughest, fastest-shooting, two-fisted cowboy in the British army. Wait a minute…
a cowboy? In the British Army? You said it,
pardner! |
Major Heinz Falken is playing a
dangerous game of chance. His life and those of his men hang in the balance
as they fight for survival. The battle on the Eastern Front between German
and Russian armies has become a war of attrition, with both sides lacking
resources. When their supplies are hijacked by the Russians, Falken is forced
to recover them by systematically searching Soviet stronghold bunkers. But
guessing which one is the right bunker is like playing a game of Russian
roulette – and they’re running out of bullets. |
The Dutch
Resistance had no room for traitors. Yet, with every day that passed, someone
in their midst was giving information to the enemy. Who was he, and how did
he operate if the group seemed so united? They were soon to find out.
Time was running out for that man, and in a very peculiar way indeed... |

Algeria, 1942.
American soldiers storm the beaches of North Africa as part of Operation
Torch. Sergeant John Rock of Dog Company takes his responsibility for his men
seriously and isn’t about to sacrifice any lives for a chance at glory. The
same can’t be said for their new commanding officer, Lieutenant Hank Travers.
The
glory hound lieutenant soon puts the platoon in jeopardy, and Rock isn’t sure
who’s the bigger threat – the Vichy or Travers! |
You’ve heard of
the Hurricane IID, the mighty fighter that packed a killer punch. Its job was
smashing the Afrika Korps tanks with its two huge cannons. Now, meet the men who flew
these planes into action — especially Wing Commander Theodore Trigg, an ace
among aces, and leader of the RAF’s toughest bunch of pilots. |
Italy, 1944. Drinking on duty
and absence without leave are both punishable offences under the articles of
war. One fateful evening though, that’s precisely what four US marines
decided to do. Sergeant Moses Rayker of the 307th Military Police Company has
been assigned the apparently easy task of rounding the vagabonds up. But it’s
not long before Rayker finds himself under enemy fire with the drunken
marines in tow. Perhaps this job isn’t as simple as it sounds! |
Many centuries
ago, two soldiers, both trained killers, fought to the death in the scorching
heat of the North African desert. Their weapons – the short, stabbing swords of the Roman
legionary. Hundreds of years later, the
same burning sands were to witness another duel. For two pilots, one British
and one German, history was about to repeat itself… |

In
1939, war was declared, sparking six years of devastation known as World War
Two. Two brothers, Michel and Hans Weber were torn apart by the conflict —
separated and on opposite sides of the fighting, with one in Germany and the
other in Canada. They had started the war as brothers — would they end it as
enemies, or could their bond survive? |
A Wehrmacht
captain, a German scientist and an RAF pilot. This unlikely combination was
thrown together in the crumbling ruins of a defeated Germany by a common aim
— survival. If they could get to Allied
territory, they’d be safe. But with vengeful SS men hot on their heels, their
chances were very slim. |
Germany, 1945. The end of the
war is near. Commando Sergeant Alfred Millin and his comrades are forced to
battle their way through what remains of the bitter German forces. Millin
worries what awaits him when the fighting is over — will he be pulled back
into his criminal past? |
From the first day of war in
1939, the soldiers, sailors and airmen of the countries opposed to Hitler’s
Germany knew that it would be a long, bloody struggle before the Nazis were
toppled to defeat. They couldn’t know then that the day of victory would come
in May 1945, and for those six years of savage war, Clive Sterling, Royal
Navy, would sail hostile seas and face deadly danger almost every day in that
fight for freedom. |

The time has
come for the crew of HMAS Wombat to strike out on their own adventure! With a
Japanese destroyer helmed by Captain Aki Kato causing havoc in the shipping
lanes, it falls to Captain John Griffin and his rough and ready crew to save
the day once again! But
with Kato able to predict all of Griffin’s tricks, the battle for the Pacific
soon turns into a duel to end all duels! |
Before the war,
Mike Stallard had fought as a pilot in China, Spain and South America. He
hired out his skills to the highest bidder and always ended up where the
dogfights were the fiercest. Then he went to
France with the RAF, fighting strictly to order in clumsy Fairey Battles
against sleek, deadly Me109s. And unless the top brass listened to fighting
men like Mike and let them fight in their own way, this was going to be the
last war that Mike and his mates would ever fly in. |
Palestine, 1917. Sergeant Blake
Burnstock and the rest of his section in the Australian Light Horses are
always being made to feel second best – the B-team, their comrades call them.
But when their rival unit, the A-team, are captured by the Turks, Burnstock
and his boys consider it their duty to get them back. Unfortunately, their
commanding officers don’t see it that way. Well, second best or not, they’re
going to rescue their countrymen. Against orders and against the odds, the
B-team are riding out! |
Life in the
small supply depot in North Africa was quiet for Nick Hart. He was miles away
from the war and nothing exciting ever happened. But that wasn’t going to last
for long. Pretty soon he’d find himself behind enemy lines, playing a deadly
cat-and-mouse game with the Germans — and the only men he could turn to for
help were four hardened criminals |

December 7th,
1941. Rick Brennan
was a private eye before the war, but there wasn’t much call for detective
work in the Ardennes, just cold nights and bad sleep. When he got himself
three days leave in Paris, he thought he had it made – finally, some rest. But fate had
other plans. After running into his old friend, Larry Carmichael, he found
himself pulled into the kind of racket he thought he’d left behind in LA. It
all started when Carmichael introduced him to his new girlfriend – she really
was a dame to die for… |
One mistake by
Squadron Leader Vic Harper caused the loss of four valuable Liberator bombers
and also cost Vic the command of his squadron. He was posted to a forgotten
base to sit out the war where he could do no more damage. But that didn’t
suit Vic. He decided to wipe out his mistake by downing any and every
Japanese plane that came his way. No wonder they began to call him...Zero
Smasher! |
Lieutenant
Alvin Siskel of the 99th Pursuit Squadron was one of the best flyers amongst
the famous Tuskegee Airmen. But after accidentally crossing
the bullying Captain Jack Calhoun, he’s stripped of his rank and forced into
service as a ‘smokejumper’ — paratrooper firemen fighting forest fires on
American soil. But things start to heat up for the smokejumpers when Japanese
Fu-Go explosive balloons begin drifting across the Pacific, causing more
forest fires than ever before. All in a day’s work for Siskel – but that’s
not all the Japanese have planned! |
Military
policemen have a job to do. Sometimes they don’t enjoy it, but they are duty
bound to get it done. But what happens when an MP has a prisoner who saves
his life and also convinces the policeman of his innocence? More than that
– what if the prisoner turns out to be a hero? |

Egypt 1942. The
war in the desert was as hot as the blazing sun, with the Italians fighting
the British in an all-out battle for supremacy. The Long Range Desert Patrol
was an ace in the hand of the Brits, and their raiding parties went behind
enemy lines to cut off vital supplies to their Italian opponents. Little
did they know they would soon be fighting shoulder to shoulder for survival
against a common enemy – the German Afrika Korps! |
Lieutenant Bill
Johnston had real trouble on his hands – in the shape of a know-it-all Yank
out on patrol with Bill’s tough, desert-wise LRDG men, who just didn’t take
to big heads. And the American, Lieutenant Schnabel, thought he knew the lot. So, as well as the desert and
the Nazis, Bill had to tame Schnabel too. It looked like being some patrol… |
Britain’s
finest spy, Lord Peter Flint, in another top-hole adventure! After Warlord’s
most disastrous mission yet, Flint ends up as the number one target of ‘six
of the best’ assassins the world has ever seen! But why does the phrase ‘six
of the best’ seem familiar to him? Who is the mysterious sixth assassin who
is an ‘old friend’ of Flint’s? Will these questions be
answered – or will this be the end of Codename Warlord?! |
Cut off from
their unit by the Japanese and in company with a leaderless group of Gurkhas,
two British soldiers decide which of them would take command. Should it be
Private Herbie Green, a seasoned veteran and the company scout, or Private
Bob Chandler, a newcomer to the jungle? The choice seemed obvious, but there was more to
the situation than met the eye. |
