Plot synopsis: 
Filmed on location in The Netherlands, this film stars Van Johnson in the atypical role of WWII German Officer Lt. Von Kroner. The son of a Nazi General, Von Kroner is called upon to lead a dangerous mission (code named “Okay Butch”) in the waning days of the War. He and several other hand-picked English-speaking German Officers are issued American uniforms with dog tags from captured US soldiers and ordered to infiltrate the Allied troops for sabotage purposes. Von Kroner does what is expected of him, though it is clear that he has become disillusioned with the "glories" of the Third Reich. When his true identity is revealed, Von Kroner decides to cast his lot with the Americans, leading a figurative "Last Blitzkrieg" against his native fellow Germans. Also present in the cast are several future TV recognizable faces: Dick York as American Sergeant Otto Ludwig, Larry Storch as fast-talking GI Virgil Ennis and Leon Askin as Nazi Officer Sgt. Steiner.
