Stumbling upon a village that has been decimated by an unseen terror, they discover that a mad Nazi scientist has been conducting experiments to fuse flesh and steel, creating an unstoppable army of dead soldiers. Leaderless and faced with dissentation among their dwindling ranks, the battalion must find the courage to face an altogether new menace - or die trying.
