[1][2] In German-occupied Belgium in 1943, a group of Flemish resistance fighters under the command of Stan (Koen De Bouw) and known for their brutal and bloody attacks on Nazi forces, are tasked with completing a secret mission for the Allies which could help end the war.
The group arrives to learn that they will operate the U-boat to bring a cargo of Uranium-235 to New York City to be used in the secret Manhattan Project, which will end up creating the nuclear bomb.
However Van Praag (Gilles De Schryver), who had both his legs amputated after they were crushed under a fallen torpedo, starts yelling out in pain.
With Jäger killing the last member, having a change of heart after hearing about the true intent of the U-boat's cargo and debating that Hitler should never get his hands on such a catastrophic weapon.
Jäger sacrifices himself by swimming to the flooded command deck of the U-boat and raising the submarine, clutching a picture of his son on which Klisse (Sven De Ridder) had drawn a Hitler moustache, as he drowns.
The surviving members of the mission are then seen relaxing on a beach in the US, where a radio broadcast announces the surrender of Japan following the use of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, marking the end of the Second World War.
