  • A bloc of hard-core American Nazis carries out elaborate plans to sabotage war efforts and keep the United States neutral.
  • A wily Japanese "tailor" single-handedly steals the secrets to the United States Gray Code.
  • A French boy and his "blind" music teacher penetrate, in broad daylight, the German forbidden zone at Port-en-Bessein.
Just beneath the surface of the legendary events of World War II lurks a vast, shadowy, high-stakes realm of espionage and intelligence, where the most successful operations are the ones we’ve never heard about … until now.
