About Stalag 17

It's Christmas 1944, a bleak and hopeless time for the American POWs held captive in Stalag 17. Within Barracks 4, a chilling realization dawns: there's a mole in their midst. Information is being leaked to the Germans, jeopardizing escape attempts and putting lives at risk. Suspicion falls on J.J. Sefton, a cynical and resourceful prisoner who seems only interested in looking out for himself. As the prisoners struggle to uncover the traitor, they must contend with the ever-present threat of the German guards and the growing sense of dread that permeates the camp. The clock is ticking, and the stakes are higher than ever.
