Editorial Reviews

Tyranny is timeless, but terrorism is its new weapon. As the world faces a global plague of assassinations and hostage scenarios, a new breed of warrior has emerged: the commando. Fearless and equipped with massive firepower, their operations are covert and their missions deadly. These are the untold stories of elite Special Forces.

THE ROYAL DUTCH MARINES: TERROR STRIKES TWICE

GERMANY'S GSG-9: JIHAD IN THE FATHERLAND
A 737 Boeing--with more than 80 passengers on board--is taken hostage. Germany's GSG-9 forces, with no knowledge of the plane's destination or number of hijackers on board, must devise a plan to safely regain control of the aircraft when it lands.

This review is from: Special Forces: Untold Stories, Vol. 2 (DVD)

I thoroughly enjoyed this dvd, it was one that you dont want to walk away from during viewing! Each moment seems to be a white knuckle-er
It depicts some very harrowing actual hostage accounts of the past, where time is of the essence and the most intellegint minds are pushed to the limits to beat the clock to figure out what they have going on, who they are dealing with, and where and when the best vantage point is to take out the combatants to save multiple innocent lives. There is an elementary school takeover, a passenger train takeover, and the infamous Luftansa plane takeover. This is a video that is great to watch again and again, and a great video for entertaing guests too.
