Plot
Deep in the Alps, the Nazi German propaganda master Joseph Goebbels leads a battalion of zealots called Germanica to hold out against the Allies' frantic final push to end World War II in Europe.
With British Prime Minister Winston Churchill losing the 1945 election, Charles De Gaulle consolidating his rule over a newly-liberated France and Joseph Stalin asserting Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe, only the United States, led by its untried new president, Harry S. Truman, remains to face the toughest Nazi warriors, who hunker down for a bitter fight to the last man.
