Synopsis:
Brooklyn is contacted by a captain in the French resistance. He is given a signal for the Commandos to begin an operation in which they plan to kidnap Hitler. The Commandos are first smuggled into France, then taken secretly to one of Hitler's retreats. The Commandos surprise the guards, but one of them triggers an alarm. An explosion then causes Hitler to be trapped inside the retreat. The Commandos aren't able to kidnap him, but the incident weakens German morale. After the mission, they learn that the French resistance leader who helped them was the ghost of a man that died six months earlier.
