Decision Before Dawn Plot and Cast
As Germany lies in ruins but refuses to surrender, the U.S. Army lacks crucial knowledge about German units across the Rhine. It sends two German prisoners to spy, a risky plan given the Gestapo's efficient network for catching spies and deserters. The agents are Tiger, who will do any dirty work for the right price, and war-weary Happy, whose feelings may betray him. After Tiger and another American agent infiltrate successfully, Happy is parachuted into Bavaria to locate a powerful German armored unit moving toward the western front.
