The Forgotten Battle

“In the final years of World War II, the lives of a traitor, a pilot, and a resistance fighter become intertwined as they fight to survive.”

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
