Police, FBI, Investigators, and trackers are discussed, as a number of organizations which work free of charge to help families find their loved ones and provide comfort where possible (listed below). We'll relate online stories from former investigators and provide statistics relating to the number of missing persons cases called in yearly, the number that are solved, and the states with the highest number of cases.

For years it was rumored that the Nazis, in their final days before the end in 1945, had dropped boxes fullof stolen gold into the depths of Lake Toplitz in Austria , but the lake, being very deep and piled with dead trees, was extreme,y dangerous for divers. Finally, expeditions were organized and searches made...searches that exposed a huge Nazi scheme to ruin England economically...and this is the story. We also reveal where most of the stolen Nazi gold was found near the end of our story.

The Australian Waler horse is known for its stamina and courage as well as its ability to perform in the worst of conditions. Over 130,000 Waler horses were deployed in the Middle East campaigns and during that time earned the respect and admiration of the Light Horse Troopers who rode them into history at Beersheba and other battles. They were also used by Merrill's Marauders in the treacherous New Guinea and Burma campaigns in WWII, again earning respect for their toughness and endurance. This story is a tribute to the breed.

On July 2nd,1966, 3 young suburban Chicago women drove to a popular beach south of Chicago on Lake Michigan, parked their car, and walked to a spot on the beach at Indiana Dunes State Park. They were last seen getting on a boat with 3 men- and from there they disappeared, never to be seen again. Their blankets and personal effects were all left behind. A huge manhunt ensued. Detectives were left without a shred of evidence- despite lots of clues to their private lives and their associates. Someone, somewhere knows something- and it is hoped even today that a clue will reveal itself so friends and family can get some closure.

In 1915, Russian defenders launched a gruesome counterattack that repelled the German invaders. What made it so gruesome? The Russians were the victims of German gas warfare, involving chlorine and bromine gases, which devastated the Russian garrison at Osowiec Fortress. It did not quite work out the way the Germans planned however. The Germans had underestimated the sheer will and determination of the Russian defenders. In this episode, part of our series, Summer of Last Stands, we give you the gore and the glory, the details of the Russian countercharge by survivors that were walking dead men, their flesh dissolving before the eyes of the terrified German offence, as the enemy scrambled in panicked retreat.

The movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was the highest grossing movie of 1981 and ensuring lasting stardom for Harrison Ford and Debra Allen. The plot, centered in the 1930's, featured an archeology professor from the US vying against Hitler's agents to recover the Lost Ark of the Covenant, which the Germans believed had power they could harness for war. In this story we cover the true story of the German quest to prove Aryan supremacy by searching the world for archeological proof of their superiority as well as the challenges faced by the movie actors and production staff-challenges which included working with thousands of poisonous snakes and in extreme temperatures.

The closing days of the war in Europe provided some of the most dramatic mmoments of the war, and the battle at Castle Itter in the Tyrolean Alps, a well-guarded Nazi "prison" for high-value political prisoners, was no exception. With Hitler's suicide followed by the announcement of Germany's surrender, many German troops began running for cover or surrendering, as did the castle guard at Castle Itter, however, the ever faithfull Waffen-SS had not surrendered and was killing as many prisoners and combatants as they could, The prisoners in the castle knew the Americans were approaching, and sent for help. Some of the prison guards changed allegiance and vowed to protect the prisoners. Soon a mixed crew of Austrian resistance fighters, ex-Nazi's, castle prisoners, including a famous tennis star, and American soldiers were holding off a Waffen-SS forceof 300 seasoned fighters intending to wipe out the castle's defenders- but despite their artillery and numbers, the castle defenders put up an incredible fight. This is the story!

Deobry's units, as well as others, faced 10-1 odds, including an entire Panzer division, for 2 whole days, taking over 50% losses, and giving the allies the critical hours needed to prepare defenses for Bastogne.
