The Jackboot
Gold - was the only currency the Americans would accept from the British in World War II.
Gold - was also what Hitler desperately needed to fuel his Nazi war machine.
Churchill, fearing that Britain was next to be crushed under the Nazi jackboot, makes the bold decision to move the country's gold reserves to Canada. It would be the greatest movement of wealth in history. The top-secret operation is code named Operation Fish.
The outlawed IRA finds out about Operation Fish. They form an unusual alliance with the Nazis to steal a massive amount of the precious British gold. Hitler assigns his special force, the Brandenburgers to carry out the gold heist. They were led by one of his favorite officers, Major Max von Seeckt, an Eton educated rapidly rising star within the Nazi hierarchy.
In an incredible twist of fate, RAF Spitfire pilot Peter Legh, Max von Seeckt's old nemesis from his days at Eton was granted a 48 hour leave from the Battle of Britain. While on leave, Legh met and fell for a beautiful Welsh girl who had inadvertently stumbled onto the Nazi/IRA plot.
With the help of a gnarly veteran from World War I and a lone agent from MI5, can the young couple stop them...or will Major Max von Seeckt and his Brandenburgers pull off the greatest gold heist in history?
