No Man’s Land
Description
During World War II, two American soldiers get caught and face execution for crimes they supposedly committed in a tiny French town.
In a small French village, two American soldiers are captured and sentenced to death for their so-called crimes during World War II.
It is 1944 and the Allied drive for Berlin is moving ahead in full force when Sergeant Craig’s squad of U.S. soldiers is ambushed near the Somme River in France, the sight of one of the bloodiest battles of World War I. The surviving members of the squad seek refuge in a small village, where they quickly find themselves on trial. The village people, who feel that they had nothing to do with starting the war yet are its principal victims, have decided to execute all soldiers with their own weapons. The men’s fate depends on Craig’s convincing them that the soldiers are on their side.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
