A Taste of Glory

A Truce with Death

Norway, April 1940 – A snowstorm forces two groups of soldiers to seek refuge in an abandoned hut. An uneasy truce is formed, because one is English and the other German. Sergeant Kevin is distrustful of their new comrades and, due to a misunderstanding, causes the death of five men when he opens fire on the Germans. He sets out by himself to the HQ at Namsos, but is nearly killed when he slips off a cliff. It is when Hauptmann Holst, who has assumed command of the group, risks his own life to rescue him that Kevin realises that the Germans are men like themselves, just those on the other side.

Appointment with Glory

Murmansk Run – Wing-Commander Tony Marsh is assigned to the navy, specifically HMS Dauntless. He miraculously shoots down a Me 110 in his Kingfisher, but due to the bad weather doesn't do much more flying. Out of necessity he decides to go after a cripple U-boat, before it can vector the rest of the wolf-pack in on the convoy. This takes him right to the coast, where he locates the secret submarine base. The Germans open fire and shoot him down, but he escapes hidden in a convoy of supplies going to the front. There he steal a truck and races through no-man’s land, only to be captured by the Soviets as a German spy. General Gregoriev decides that Marsh’s story warrants an investigation and takes him along on the planned attack. Tony Marsh then uses an abandoned KV-1 tank, filled with explosives, to destroy the sub-pen.

Italy, 1944 – A company of paratroopers is summarily shot by Sturmbannführer Kleischmann, but Colonel Ryder miraculously survives. Invalidated out of the paras due to his injuries, he forms a recce-unit to scout for the army and take key bridges using speed and skill. As the story progresses, it is clear that Ryder is in truth only looking for Kleischmann. In the final battle he snaps completely and shoots members of the SS that have surrendered and even some of his own men who are in the way. In the end he kills Kleischmann, but is himself shot by his own adjudant. The members of his team decide to forget the truth and report that Ryder was killed in action.

The Bandit Chief

Lieutenant Ted Newton has a run-in with the new commanding officer and is later captured when the forward post he is inspecting is overrun. The convoy taking him to the German HQ is attacked by partisans and, with no hope of reaching his own lines, Ted joins the group. On a raid of an airfield, the partisans are betrayed by Guiseppe - the man Ted replaced as second-in-command - and when their leader is killed, they elect Ted to command the small band of freedom fighters.

The front eventually reaches the area of operations of Ted’s group and they make contact with an advanced British raiding party - only to discover that the leader is Ted’s old commanding officer. He refuses the help of the partisans and threatens Ted with desertion, but must accept when Ted narrowly saves them from betrayal by their guide, Guiseppe, and capture by the Germans. Knowing it will be a one-way mission, Ted and his group help them secure the airfield they previously failed to destroy. They are, however, saved by paratroopers arriving just in time.

Ted Newton is promoted and kept in charge of the partisans of the area.
