Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny (2025)
S02E10 Extreme Extractions
Episode Overview
In a story that rivals any blockbuster, villagers and resistance fighters carved an airstrip from scratch with their bare hands during Operation Halyard, smuggling stranded airmen out of Nazi-occupied territory. Years later, under the cover of night, American forces snatched a Soviet helicopter from the African desert in Operation Mount Hope. Even earlier, the SAS pulled off a stunning train heist in occupied Italy, freeing 200 prisoners. These real-life rescues prove that extraction often demands as much audacity as any attack.
