"This documentary chronicles the extraordinary exploits of the underground Rail War operated by Soviet guerrilla units during World War Two. Behind enemy lines, Soviet resistance fighters derailed trains containing German fortifications, and substantially damaged the German offensive in the Ukraine, Lithuania, and Latvia. Former underground fighters explain the resistance network, and recount their Hogan's Heroes'-like escapades behind enemy lines."
