The Birdmen plot

"They used to boast there were only two ways to escape from Hitler's Beckstadt prison... to die...or to sprout wings"

In the heat of World War II, American soldier Harry Cook is sent to Norway to protect a scientist. This man is busy designing a German atomic bomb and that must of course be prevented. But before they can escape from Europe, they are caught and sent to a POW prison camp located on the German-Swiss Alpine border. Cook must now find a way to get the scientist to safety before the Gestapo tracks them down and uncovers Cook's true identity.
