Description
In the chaotic last days of the war a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers captures a German spy and makes an astonishing find. His briefcase is empty but for photos of beautiful white horses that have been stolen and kept on a secret farm behind enemy lines. Hitler has stockpiled the worlds finest purebreds in order to breed the perfect military machine, an equine master race. But with the starving Russian army closing in, the animals are in imminent danger of being slaughtered for food.
