Designed to promote racial harmony and understanding in wartime, TWENTY SEVEN SOLDIERS shows the cooperation between twenty seven different nations and ethnicities to defeat the Axis in Italy. Road signs are shown in some of the 12 languages used by Allied armies at the front, and many wonderful shots of American, British, Indian, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Free French, Free Yugoslavs, Free Dutch, Free Polish, and other armies. Soldiers from many different nations are seen with jeeps, and with different types of food ranging from corn beef hash to spaghetti. Different faiths are also shown at the front lines. The question is asked, how did they all get welded into one fighting force?
