The Last Drop

September 1944. In a daring attempt to end the war by Christmas, the British High Command hatch an extraordinary plan - Operation Market Garden - 35,000 allied troops dropped by air into German occupied Holland. In the midst of the largest airborne invasion in history, one small unit of men, codename 'Matchbox', has its own hidden agenda. While the rest of the British soldiers operate on a strictly need-to-know basis, the seemingly innocuous Corporal POWELL - in reality an undercover intelligence officer - has been given a secret objective. The true target - sanctioned by no less a figure than Winston Churchill himself - is a vast horde of Dutch gold and art treasures, plundered by the Nazis and stored behind an impregnable bobby-trapped safe, imminently bound for Berlin. BENITTA and SASKIA, two brave and resourceful women with the Dutch underground have managed to ascertain the location of the treasure and somehow ingratiated themselves with the spectacularly vile SS Major KESSLER to act as housekeepers where the riches are stored. Risking their lives they've communicated to British intelligence in a hope to foil the plan and help liberate their occupied country. Powell and his men must evade the might of the German counter-attack at Arnhem, locate, secure and retrieve the stolen loot, and find safe passage back to British soil. This near-impossible heist all takes place from beneath the nose of KESSLER and his crack team of Storm troopers. Difficult enough, but when Matchbox are shot down short of their landing zone and reduced in a firefight to only six men, the odds of their success seem hopeless.
