Jewish-American intelligence officers return to their homeland in Germany to fight the Nazis and find their families. As they advance they discover the true horror of the Holocaust. When the war is over, they have a chance for some justice.

In the final months of the war, Partisan leader Josip Tito and his forces complete their conquest of Yugoslavia. They destroy Draza Mihailovic's Chetniks and Ante Pavelic's Croatian Independent State and they outmanoeuvre King Peter. As Tito's forces take revenge on their vanquished foes, Socialist Yugoslavia is born in a cradle of fire and blood.
