Kommando Sinai released as 'La guerra dei sei giorni' in Italy and 'Sinai Commandos: A Story Of The Six Day War' in english is a 1968 macaroni combat film directed by Raphael Nussbaum
It's the eve of the Six Day War and things don't look good for the barley 20 year old Jewish State of Israel. Egyptian President Nassar has mobilized his troops where their armored and mechanized divisions are pouring into the Sinai Desert right up to the borders of Israel proper. Nassar's Egyptian Army is now ready to attack in a three prong invasion of the Jewish state together with his Arab allies Jordan & Syria.
The Israeli commander of the Southern Front Gen. Golan decides the best way to stop the Egyptian attack is to knock out the Egyptian radar installations on the Sinai coast of Sherm El-Sheikh! That will give the Israeli air force, in it not being detected, total surprise over the Egyptians and be able, by attacking the Egyptian air bases in Egypt proper, knock out its entire air force! It's up to Captain Uri Littman and a group of hand picked Israeli commandos to do the job but the job won't be an easy one!
Hard hitting action combat flick with Capt. Littman and his commandos taking it, the fight, to the Egyptian Army before it can move across the Israeli border and invade as well as destroy the Jewish State. It was with the help of Israeli teenager Nira, who's motorboat Capt.Lattman commandeered, who knows the Sinai coastline like the back of her hand that this a first almost suicidal mission was successful.
The mission almost went down the drain, or the gulf of Akaba, when Capt. Littman and his commandos were ambushed by an Egyptian patrol whom they later wiped out or neutralized. Using the captured Egyptian vehicles as cover Capt. Littman and his commandos were able to storm the radar installation and wipe it out, together with some two dozen Egyptian troops, but at a heavy cost of their own.
It was in fact second in command Let. Moshe Kramer who held off Egyptian reinforcements that made the operation's success possible. Let. Kramer who was badly wounded kept the Egyptian troops from getting to the radar installation before Captain Littman and his men blew it up. But it cost Let. Kramer his life in doing it.
