Short synopsis: In the Ardennes near Belgium during World War II, Commander Harris and his American unit are given the task of holding the front against a German offensive. But when a meteorite hits nearby, both the American and German forces have to retreat and the area is devastated. Harris' main goal is to find his missing soldiers in the rubble. On the way, he learns of a secret gold treasure hidden in the area! But when the US government eventually informs Harris that the Nazi Colonel Hans Kammler is leading some secret underground projects that even lead as far as Austria! Harris is later accompanied by a British SAS (Special Air Service) that is there in the Ardennes, this troop is given the mission! To investigate the matter that is connected to the Nazis' dark projects. His search for his lost men brings him into conflict with various enemies, including an American deserter named Bob Thomson, who betrays Harris and goes after the gold for himself. Thomson teams up with a French business partner and disappears into the South of France, but they are pursued by several factions, including a former Knight's Cross recipient, Mr. Eisern, and a mercenary leader, Herzog. As Harris and his team, including British SAS commandos, track down Thomson and the treasure, they uncover a web of greed, betrayal, and mysterious technology from the meteorite impact. The meteorite's metals have the potential to revolutionize the weapons industry, and everyone from the US government to the Nazi regime is after the secret. While the Corsican mafia, among others, are searching for the gold in Paris! In the end, the gold remains untraceable, but for the governments, the real power lies in the secret research that the meteorite has inspired. As the war draws to a close, the main players - Harris, Herzog, Eisern and Thomson - must decide whether to continue their quest for financial power and find the hidden gold deposits or disappear into the shadows of history.
