In December 1943, a single command pulled Thorvald Aanden out of a foxhole in Germany.
Seconds later, a mortar shell destroyed the place where he had been sitting.
This is the story of a farm boy from South Dakota who survived five World War II campaigns
with the U.S. 5th Armored Division under General George S. Patton — and carried the weight
of survival for the rest of his life.
Based on real archival interviews, this documentary-style narrative explores
fear, chance, memory, and what it means to come home when others did not.
