Storyline

In April 1944, an allied agent is sent to France in order to rescue an "overlord" captured by the Germans. (An "overlord" is one of the few men who know the date and place of the D-Day invasion). To achieve this goal, he will be supported by a secret friend of the Allies, a very important German officer and the French resistance. But the S.S. is not resting.

| Quotes |
Gus Lang:
We didn't tell them about the decoy run? You mean to tell me we never told Allied Command what we were doing? Colonel Peters: This was the one that we couldn't leak, not even to Allied Command. Gus Lang: Hell, Hitler doesn't even need an army with Allied Intelligence on the job! Colonel Peters: Well,there's a little bit more. Survivors reported that some of the men in the water were picked up by the Germans, and THAT'S why we're in this bloody Jeep driving out to bloody Devon, and we're going to pray every inch of the way that Himmler hasn't landed himself an Overlord; the boats that went down were crawling with them.
