It's 1943 on the Russian front and men are turning up mutilated inside of Franco's Blue Division on loan to Der Fuhrer. A lowly private is plucked from the ranks because of his police experience in Madrid and ordered to solve it, PDQ. He teams with a Seargent and starts working his way through the bodies carved with fragments of a child's prayer.

How odd to spend the extra money on producing a wartime setting in the snow to solve murder mysteries? Nevertheless, it is a unique setting showing enlisted life, officer arrogance, oddball characters, and a flicker of romance.
