Description: Treachery and valour in World War II ... As war is declared on Germany, Eddie Dawson, an explosives expert and somewhat reluctant Lance Corporal in the Royal Engineers, is sent to the Saarland region, where the French have launched an ill-advised invasion into German territory. Dawson's skills are needed to clear a minefield, but within hours everything has gone wrong and he and a fellow sapper are caught on the wrong side of the front line. They must fight their way out of the Warndt Forest, with a squad of SS troops hot on their trail determined to kill them both.
