Follow a group of Royal Marine Commandos on a routine training exercise in the Scottish Highlands that goes horribly wrong when they interrupt an illegal arms-deal; a classic Commando from the 1960s as British dispatch rider Sergeant George Ward has a disaster on a routine delivery job when the road swings into a dark forest that will haunt him for months; Ramsey’s Raiders return yet again for a less than above board mission in a SS infested village in France; and Olaf Milang returns home to his native Norway on a secret mission to find out if his own brother is really acting the traitor and wearing the uniform of the Nazi-controlled police.
