Decision Before Dawn
WWII is nearing its end: Germany is in ruins but refuses to surrender. The US army lacks critical knowledge about the German units operating on the other side of the Rhine and decides to send two German prisoners to gather information. The scheme is risky because the Gestapo maintains a highly effective network for identifying and apprehending spies and deserters. Furthermore, it is unclear whether "Tiger," who is willing to do any dirty work for the right price, and war-weary "Happy," who may be easily betrayed by his emotions, are trustworthy agents. After Tiger and another American agent are successfully infiltrated, Happy is parachuted into Bavaria. His mission: locate a powerful German armored unit moving towards the western front.
