Starts out with them fighting in Italy, then later they land in southern France and fight their way into Germany.

The filming style is a little jarring at first as it uses some kind of hybrid real film and animation blend. The actors are all clearly real people acting out their parts, but then all the set dressing is animated (presumably to save a ton of money on not needing real world set/props). While I would have preferred an all live action experience, what they did wasn't a deal breaker for me and the story line itself was really good.

I loved The Liberator. Great little show.
