The year is 1944. A team of American Paratroopers are on their way into Nazi Germany - they are being sent on a mission that is crucial to ending the war. A photographer named Mark Chase is trying to take pictures but Corporal Ford tells him to go back to his seat.
As the soldiers banter, in walks Sergeant Eldson to confirm their orders to take down a Nazi radio tower from a church. They are told that Ford is in charge and to obey his orders. As they approach the target, their plane is shot at by the enemy.
Around them, they can see other planes exploding. Their plane is fired upon and some of the men are killed. The remainder jump from their plane before it explodes and parachute to the ground below.
They land in the water and swim to the shore for safety. Private Ed Boyce is shot at but escapes and finds a gun. In the distance, he can see Eldson has been discovered by a group of Nazi soldiers.
He is about to rush forward to help but is held back by Ford. They witness Eldson’s execution. Ford insists that they continue the mission.
He is very matter of fact about the death of their colleagues. They finally reunite with Tibbet, Chase and Dawson. Ford throws Chase’s camera away and they continue walking forward.
Suddenly Dawson steps on a land mine and a huge explosion is then heard The others are temporarily deafened and as Boyce asks about Dawson, Ford tries to keep them focused. The soldiers keep moving into the woods and discover the body of a creature on the floor. They examine it but suddenly a French woman named Chloe walks past.
Ford states that no-one can know that they are there and they give chase. Boyce speaks to her in French to let her know they mean no harm. They identify her as a scavenger and demand that she leads them back to her home.
They walk through the village and are appalled by the atrocities that the Nazis are performing. Chloe tells Boyce that it is only her Aunt and brother inside her house. A neighbor hears them and calls out to the German soldiers for Chloe being out past the curfew.
The Americans hide as she is questioned by the German soldiers who take her bag of scavenged items. As the Americans enter Chloe’s house they can hear a strange noise that Chloe tells them is her sick Aunt Simone. Suddenly her brother Paul appears who startles Tibbet.
Chloe assures Ford that her Aunt won’t be a problem. The men hide up in the attic from where they can see the church compound. Chloe tells them that anyone is shot if they try to go near.
As they look outside they see a man and a woman being coldly killed. She tells the Americans that this is what happened to her parents and she says that they cannot stay there. Ford tells her that they only need to stay for about four hours - until the tower comes down.
Tibbet is startled again by Paul who wants to play ball but he is brushed aside. The men discuss whether they are able to complete the mission against the enemy outside. Boyce states that planes cannot provide air support to the beaches unless they take the tower out and he is willing to do whatever it takes.
Tibbe and Chase are sent to check and see if anyone else made the rendez-vous point. Boyce goes downstairs and can hear the noise coming from Aunt Simone’s room. He goes to investigate and sees a disfigured face staring back at him.
Boyce asks Chloe what happened to her and she replies that she hasn’t spoken since she got her back from the church. Chloe tends to Boyce's bullet wound as she explains what happened to her family. She tells him that her parents were taken to the tower by a German doctor, who believes that it holds some kind of power.
She thinks that it is just an excuse to kill people. Suddenly, more German soldiers enter the house for an inspection. The Americans hide in the attic as Chloe lets them in.
Paul drops his baseball and the Americans are almost discovered but when they see that it is only a little boy, they move on. Captain Wafner sends the soldiers away and attempts to do something terrible to Chloe, but Boyce comes out and points a gun at his head. The Captain is searched and Ford confiscates a lighter that he finds in his pocket.
Ford headbutts Wafner and then they tie him up and hide him in the attic. Ford sends Boyce out to find Tibbet and Chase at the rendezvous point. He stumbles across the church where the tower is located and sees the Germans loading disfigured bodies into an area where they are burned.
However, when he is nearly spotted, he hides in a truck filled with the dead bodies of the other paratroopers. The truck drives inside the compound and Boyce climbs out and enters the church. He finds himself inside a laboratory where he sees the results of a number of experiments.
He begins to examine some syringes before being distracted by the noise from a woman that has been experimented upon. He suddenly notices one of the paratroopers from his plane named Rosenfeld and tries to release him. He is interrupted by DrSchmidt /shmit/ who conducts an experiment on another man before leaving.
He continues to free Rosenfeld which also involves removing a syringe from his body. They flee, taking the syringe with them. Boyce returns to the attic with Rosenfeld and they rejoin their colleagues.
He tries to explain to Ford what he has seen and presents the syringe. Ford demands that Wafner tell him what is in the syringe but the Captain refuses to cooperate. Ford continues to question him and as the Captain taunts Chloe, she stabs him in the leg with a knife.
Ford continues the interrogation and continues to beat him despite Boyce’s protests. Ford starts to make a plan to get into the church and destroy the tower. Chase is sent upstairs to get the Captain but as he unties him, he starts to attack Chase and grabs his gun before shooting at Chase.
Wafner is restrained whilst the others attend to Chase but he dies on the floor. Boyce looks across at the syringe and pumps it into Chase’s body and he suddenly sits up having been brought back to life. He immediately shows signs of super strength but begins to mutate and attacks his friends.
Ford shoots at him but it has little effect. Boyce struggles to finally kill him. While they are distracted, Wafner grabs Paul and runs out of the house.
As the opposing soldiers engage in a gunfight, Wafner is shot in the face but he manages to escape with Paul nevertheless. Boyce wants to rescue Paul but Ford disagrees as it isn’t the mission. They argue but Boyce says that he can get them inside the church and do both things at the same time.
Ford reluctantly agrees. Wafner returns to the laboratory and despite Schmidt’s protests, he injects himself with two syringes and rapidly starts to mutate. Chloe leaves her house and is pursued by a man on a motorbike.
The Americans capture him and strap explosives to him and his bike in order to make their way into the compound. Tibbet and Rosenfeld stay outside guarding the entrance whilst Boyce, Ford, and Chloe go inside. Once inside, Chloe immediately looks for Paul.
She shoots a soldier and demands that the other takes her to her brother. He takes her to a cell inhabited by one of the mutants. While she is distracted, the soldier is about to kill her but Boyce arrives in time to save her.
The mutant devours the soldier and then follows Chloe and Boyce. They arrive in the lab and Chloe can hear Paul crying. She manages to release him and Boyce tells her to leave while he finishes things in the lab.
As they try to escape, they encounter the released mutant but she ultimately destroys it with a flamethrower while Paul escapes. Ford is setting explosives when he is attacked by Wafner who impales him on a meat hook. Schmidt stops Boyce and they fight in the lab.
Boyce manages to overcome him. Paul emerges outside. He is led through the gunfire by Tibbet who is injured but then they are rescued by Chloe.
Back inside, Boyce distracts Wafner and Ford manages to free himself from the hook. He injects some of the serum from a syringe before he and Wafner fight furiously. Boyce crawls back inside the lab and shoots at a tank which explodes - killing Wafner.
He then goes across to help Ford escape but Ford locks himself inside the lab. Ford explains that he didn’t get the timer set and so he will need to stay behind and activate it manually. Boyce protests but Ford tells him that this abomination must be buried as no-one should be allowed to have it.
As mutants advance on him, he uses Wafner’s lighter to blow up the lab thereby killing everyone inside. Boyce runs through the collapsing building as explosions go off around him. Outside, the others are listening to the successful D-Day reports on the radio.
Boyce reunites with his comrades and confirms to them that Ford is dead as Chloe tends to Tibbet's bullet wound. Some time later, Boyce is being debriefed by his superiors. They cannot understand why Ford chose to go beneath ground to set the explosives when they had plenty to complete the mission above ground.
Boyce tells them that Ford wanted to be sure that the tower was destroyed. As Boyce turns to leave, the officer tells him that he heard reports of some secret lab beneath the church and if he knows anything. Boyce decides to say that he is unaware of any such thing to stop the Americans digging it up and continuing the experimentation.
Back outside, the soldiers are playing cards with Paul. Chloe is still tending to the sick. Boyce reveals to the group that they have all been reassigned.
They still need to pop it to Hitler and then they can all go home! If you want to watch more on Movie Shortens, click on our next videos and playlist on the screen. Thanks for watching!
