The year is 1945. SS Colonel Gunter Brumm parachutes into the ruins of Berlin, evading Soviet troops. His goal is to smuggle 'Herr Wolf', the greatest criminal of the 20th Century, to freedom. Also coming to that city is Vasily Petrov, 'the Berkut', out to capture them instead. And working under his own orders is Beau Valentine of the OSS, one of the few Allied troops who knows who Herr Wolf really is.
