Within hours of opening the crate, he and his best friend find themselves propelled into a world of danger greater and more personal than they faced while battling the German Army. In the rubble that had once been the Greater German Reich, the two Constabulary troopers are confronted with corrupt Army officials, black marketers, arms dealers, fugitive war criminals, and desperate Army investigators, and they have to fight for their very lives just to be able to return home.
