How Will You Die Today?

SYNOPSIS:

You asked for it, yes you did!

A British Private Ryan and Band of Brothers (at last!)

COMMANDO MEN is the story of men at war, the Second World War but it could be any war. Thrown together out of patriotism, circumstance, peer pressure or fear of missing out, they are all from very different social backgrounds:

Career soldiers fresh from the fight and volunteers from a blitzed burnt out city they are melded together and transformed into Churchill's ‘Hunter Class’ and ‘Leopards’ trained to ‘Butcher and Bolt’ and ‘Set Europe Ablaze’.

Now the Officers and Men of a newly formed Commando Unit they will have to learn on the job, learn to fight and die. We follow our Band of Brothers on their real war time journey fighting the Nazi’s through Normandy, Holland and then Germany between 1943 - 1945.

Our story is based on real characters and events.

Our men, they could of been our Grandfathers, Husbands, Fathers, Brothers and boys, we know them all.

They live with humour and love for each other, in fear before an action, with senses heightened in the heat of battle, in sadness at the senseless waste of fallen comrades Their lives change daily with each new challenge, as they watch the body count rise as the enemy becomes more fanatical by the day.

Scripted as a 10 episode series but could be condensed into a Movie.

Most characters are based on real members of the Unit, a few fictional characters are sewn in to join up the dots.
