Plot
In late 1944, several American prisoners plan an escape from a German prisoner-of-war camp. However, unknown to them, among them is a German, Lt. Hans von Kroner, known to them as Sgt. Richardson, who is spying on the prisoners, reporting their escape plans to the camp commandant and polishing up his American English. Reporting the escape plan to the camp commandant, von Kroner is told he is being removed from the camp and reassigned to another unit as part of a top secret project gathering all fluent English-speaking members of the Wehrmacht for an unstated reason. The prisoners' plan fails and many die.
