This time they are being sent to occupied Norway as part of ‘Operation Halberd’.  Their target: a factory used to make nitroglycerin, a key component for the enemy’s explosives.  However, the German troops have already caught wind of the British invasion and rapidly reinforcing their coastline.  And despite the Commandos' meticulous planning and thorough rehearsals they are bound to come up against unforeseen obstacles…  Will the Commandos manage to destroy their target?
