Film Synopsis
France, 1944. On the day of the Normandy landing, a two-bit actor named Martin is busy rehearsing his role as a German officer for a stage play. The liberating American troops mistake him for a real German and he is handed over to the French. Whilst employed as an orderly to a French general, Martin mislays his clothes and ends up having to borrow those of the general. Kidnapped by German soldiers, Martin is privy to a dastardly plot to defeat the allies, masterminded by Hitler himself. When he is subsequently rescued by the Americans, Martin is charged with a vital mission: to infiltrate the German camp and assassinate the Führer...© James Travers
