The Germans capture the only survivor, an American General, and take him to the nearest SS headquarters. Unknown to the Germans the General has full knowledge of the D-Day operation.

I wish Eastwood had done more war movies when he was younger. This teaming of him w/ Richard Burton as soldiers on a secret mission into Axis territory is fantastic."

"Richad Burton and Clint Eastwood go to rescue a general whos been captured by the nazis. Oh know. They kill about 1000 nazis and dont get a scratch on the way. Afterwards they both go to sleep together. Happy ending. Plot is so full of holes and it made me sick to see that Eastwood has done this kind of crap. You´d be better off by watching The Great Escape, Kelly´s Heroes or The Dirty Dozen. Those are good films. This is not.

"I love both of the main stars in this film: Eastwood and Burton. It's not a 'great' movie but it is really good and laced with action scenes and it has much in the way of re-watch value.
