Fireball Forward

It was produced by Frank McCarthy who called it "son of Patton": it follows a hard luck Army division in 1944 France, and the General who must lick it into shape.

[1] After D-Day, Maj. General Joe Barret is decorated with the Distinguished Service Cross medal, but Gen. Omar Bradley transfers him to the 14th Division due to poor performance in battle.

Barret finds the 14th Division with a bad combat record, lack of morale and discipline.

After two disastrous battles against the German army, Barret discovers that he has a mole, who turns out to be the head of the French Resistance, Jean Duval.

Once Barret discovered the spy, the 14th Division wins its next battle and begins a successful push all the way to Gen. Patton, near Berlin.
