The story

By late 1944, as the Allies march toward the Rhine, it is obvious that Germany will lose the war. American Colonel Devlin leads a military intelligence unit that enlists German POWs to cross into German territory and spy on their former comrades. The recruits include "Tiger", a cynical mercenary, and "Happy", a young, idealistic medical student.
