Plot Synopsis
In 1944, nearing the end of World War II, Colonel Devlin is made leader of a new unit that uses German prisoners of war to spy on the German army. Two prisoners are chosen to track a German armored unit: Tiger, a cynical older soldier who just wants to join the winning side, and Happy, a naive young soldier who joins because of his friend's death. Both prisoners make it into the country and must reconcile their dangerous mission with their still-present patriotism. -

Reviews
"A straightforward undercover spy film, "Decision Before Dawn" offers a clear and sober look at Germany during the last year of WWII, showing compassion for German soldiers who turn traitors by their own will." -Emanuel Levyhttp://www.emanuellevy.com/search/details.cfm?id=8512"A well-crafted but listless WWII spy drama that's based on a true story and shot almost in a semidocumentary style." -Dennis Schwartzhttp://www.sover.net/~ozus/decisionbeforedawn.htm
