Synopsis
French resistance fighters uncover the position of a secret German store containing files and reports of vital information on the movement of troops. The details are passed to British intelligence, who formulate an ingenious plan - to break into the heavily guarded store and steal the information - thus gaining the upper hand for a precious few hours. This was a job that demanded a tough, ruthless, highly trained band of men. Men who could parachute into enemy-occupied territory and efficiently carry out an operation that depended on split-second timing, and get out again - men like those of commando unit Special Group 404.
