Lt. Melvin Toler

When American paratroopers encounter a German pillbox fortification deep behind enemy lines, Lt. Melvin Toler devises a desperate gambit to avoid a costly frontal assault against overwhelming odds. Using nothing but nerve and a carefully orchestrated bluff, Toler attempts to convince the Nazi commander that he commands a far larger force than he actually does.

Lt. Roman V. Maziarz pilots his badly crippled Flying Fortress back toward England after three of its four engines are shot out over Germany, forcing the crew to jettison everything but ammunition in a desperate bid to stay airborne.

A harrowing race against the odds—and the freezing waters below—tests whether Maziarz and his men can make it home.
