Factual errors: The party were being followed by three Russian tanks for a number days. In all that time there was no sign of a fuel tanker. Tanks are very fuel hungry and would not have been able to sustain the pursuit without refueling. moreFAQ

Probably one of the worst WWII action movies ever made...
Plot is minimal; characterization non-existent. Most of the movie seems to consist of two groups of men, both dressed in German uniforms, shooting each other with sub-machine guns.
The attack by Mosquito fighter-bombers seems to be footage lifted from the movie "633 Squadron". The Norwegian fjord looks awfully familiar, and so do some of the German anti-aircraft gunners.
Whitman, as leading man, is mind-numbingly uninspiring... like a poor man's Ronald Regan, only worse.
Avoid at all costs...
