Battle of the Commandos

Battle of the Commandos (also known as Legion of the Damned) is a European Macaroni-War film directed in 1969 by Umberto Lenzi.

The Germans have fortified the French coasts to resist the landing, but the exact location and day are unknown to them.

Colonel Henderson, an English officer, is given a mission to form a commando unit and reach the French coasts near Le Havre, east of Normandy, to mislead the Germans about the landing location.

Colonel Ackerman, who had previously defeated Henderson's unit in North Africa, commands the German troops in that area.

Battle of the Commandos was released in Spain on August 12, 1969 as La brigada de los condenados.
