Summer 1944

Having taken a pounding in the battles around Caen and the D-Dday Beachheads, mixed elements of SS Panzer and Heer troops are taking a well earned weekend rest to refit and re-arm, in the Cherbourg Peninsula. Hidden away in the woods, they are tasked with some light training, and ensuring that the French locals do not cause any trouble. They have a good set up, sleeping in proper tents for the first time in a month, with good food and warms fires, and not under constant threat of attack. For a few days it seems that the fortunes of war have turned in their favour.

Unknown to the Germans, their location has been found by some of the elite Jedburgh teams, who have been living behind the lines since before D-Day. Ruthless, resourceful and able to live of the land for months, these tough troops have no intention of letting the enemy recuperate. Hit and run is their chosen speciality, and it is not long before they can pose a real threat even in small numbers.
