L'aigle s'est envolé

Norfolk, late autumn. Church bells. A captured spy yields irresistible intel. High-command Nazis conceive a snatch-and-grab raid on Winston Churchill, briefly within reach. German paratroopers descend, plans go sideways, locals resist. Sturges leans into fatalism and brute action over flag-waving.
