Decision Before Dawn

A woman's kiss . . . A lighted cigarette - Each had Its meaning! An exciting and realistic story of war . . . of German Prisoners Sent Back Behind Their Own Lines as Agents of the Allies!

In the final phase of World War II, Germany is in ruins but does not yield. The U.S. Army lacks crucial knowledge about German units across the Rhine and decides to send two German prisoners to gather information. The scheme is risky because the Gestapo retains a terribly efficient network to identify and capture spies and deserters. Moreover, it is unclear whether "Tiger," who does any dirty work for the right price, and war-weary "Happy," who might be betrayed by his feelings, are dependable. After Tiger and another American agent are successfully infiltrated, Happy is parachuted into Bavaria to find out the whereabouts of a powerful German armored unit moving toward the western front.
