The Real "Dirty Dozen"

"The Dirty Dozen" had everything anyone could hope for in a war movie. Convicts, trained as commandos and portrayed by Hollywood's best tough guys of the time, are dropped into Normandy on a suicide mission. Their aim is to kill the Nazi officers responsible for coordinating the German defense of France during a massive upcoming Allied amphibious invasion that would become known as "D-Day." If the commandos survive, they get a full pardon.
