The story

At the McKenzie prisoner of War (POW) camp in north Scotland, Kapitän zur See Willi Schlüter – a Kriegsmarine U-boat commander – challenges the authority of the camp’s by-the-book commanding officer, Major Perry. Because British officers have been shackled in Germany, Perry has been ordered to handcuff an equal number of German officers as a reprisal. The Germans refuse to appear at roll call, then ambush the British guards when they attempt to force the prisoners out of their barracks.
