Synopsis

NO PRISONERS.... NO SURRENDER... NO CHANCE....
Major Heston, with four other American officers, parachutes into Nazi Germany for a secret Commando mission to shorten World War Il. They are joined by a German, Truniger. Each of the men knows only his own part in the raid. They attack a train carrying high-ranking German officers involved in the assassination attempt against Hitler. Truniger visits Rommel and asks him to leave Germany with the Americans, but he refuses. Gestapo Major Wolf suspects a new anti-Hitler plot, and orders the Commando's arrest. The six Americans conquer the Kesselberg post, but Wolf upholds it must be recaptured. The german troops are headed by Truniger, who seems to have betrayed his American colleagues. In a bloody defence action, four of them are killed - but their deaths have served a gallant purpose. Truniger was not a traitor after all, but has obeyed orders for displacement of German forces from Zell to Kesselberg thus ensuring victory for the Americans.
