During World War II, a group of Nazi officers participated in the game of football. One day, a group of all-star Nazis decided to face a team of Allied Prisoners of War in a football game. Prisoners agree with this good idea, but they seem to be planning to use the game as a way to escape during that time

Alternately hokey and inspiring.
