“The German Dirty Dozen”

In 1943, Nazi Germany suffers heavy losses at the Eastern Front and an order for all-out retreat is ultimately issued. The 27th Penal Panzer Regiment, consisting solely of those convicted of various real or political crimes ranging from incest to dissidence, has just returned from Stalingrad where German forces were decimated by the Soviets after a brutal, year-long fight.
