SYNOPSIS: HITLER'S LAIR: The year is 1945, the Fuhrer is dead and his followers are fleeing Berlin for their lives. All save one: Standartenfurher Hackmann, Martin Bormann's principal SS aide. Hackmann knows that the last Melmer gold shipment has been sent by Bormann to the Fuhrer's mountain refuge, the 'Eagles Nest' in the Bavarian Alps. Bormann wants to use the looted gold for his own purposes. Hackmann, the fanatical Nazi, has other ideas: the gold will be smuggled out of the dying Reich to South America, where it will be used to finance the Fourth Reich. Mallory's 'Marauders' set off from Berlin in pursuit. Before them is a long, dangerous journey through outlaw country. But complicating matters is General 'Iron Mike' O'Daniel's 3rd US infantry Division, also fighting its way to the Eagle's Nest, as well as General Le Clerc's 2nd French Armoured Division. It's a race against time for national prestige, with traitors and opportunists in their ranks who intend to use the Melmer gold for their own purposes.... THE SCREAMING EAGLES: The 101st Airborne Division has been nicknamed 'the battered bastards of Bastogne' after the German breakthrough into the Ardennes. Now on Christmas eve 1944, 'Capter' McDonald and his men are ordered on a desperate mission to save what's left of their crippled division. They must link up with Patton's 4th Armoured, still fighting its way through the enemy's lines, by 26th December - the day the Germans are to launch their all-out offensive...
