The Russian army batters at the gates of Berlin. British troops are poised to cross the Elbe. The war in Europe is almost over but on the Channel Islands lying between Britain and occoupied France, a die-hard Nazi garrison holds on. The Islands have the strongest fortifications in the world, 40,000 men and a secret underwater weapon devastating in its simplicity. The Nazis' intention: keep the conflict raging, even after the surrender of their own high command.
