Failed pilot for a potential series.
Pilot Script was originally called "Division Headquarters"
This utilises footage from "Patton".
Loretta Swit plays an army nurse in an uncredited role. This movie was released in March of 1972. Her role as the army nurse Major Houlihan in the TV series MASH would air its first episode in September 1972.
The film begins with Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy, and ends with Operation Cobra where Lieutenant General George S. Patton's 3rd Army leads the breakout from the Normandy beachhead. The music under the opening credits is the march from The Longest Day (1962) (the definitive nonfictional film about Operation Overlord) by Paul Anka, and the music under the end credits is the march from Patton (1970) by Jerry Goldsmith.
