As the seasoned infantry and tank units of the German 11th Panzer
"Ghost" division move silently into position on the snow covered hills
around Nennig Germany ,a battle weary GI and his unit stand ready to
defend the small town, a key position in the Allied advance to win the
war. Outgunned and outnumbered, S/ Sgt Don Smith struggles to find hope
and courage against overwhelming odds in one of the decisive
confrontations in the "Battle of the Bulge" during WWII. His squad of
GI's of the 94th Infantry Division lay dug in on the ridge-line outside
of town. No one in high command believed that German forces would
attack in the sub zero temperatures and near blizzard conditions. As
the pre-dawn attack comes, with communications down Sgt. Smith is left
with no choice but to make his way through enemy fire, unarmed and
wounded, into town and warn of the coming attack.
