A rousing, action-packed WWII commando adventure built on clever infiltration, explosive set pieces, and the camaraderie of a skilled team on an impossible mission.

World War II is raging, and an American general has been captured and is being held hostage in the Schloss Adler, a Bavarian castle that's nearly impossible to breach. It's up to a group of skilled Allied soldiers to liberate the general before it's too late.
