Spoilers ahead

On April 27, 1940, a Luftwaffe Heinkel He 111 bomber (1H+CT) finds itself under pursuit by a Fleet Air Arm Blackburn Skua (L2940) fighter near Grotli. Following the crash, three of the four German crew members survive: pilot Leutnant Horst Schopis (Florian Lukas), Feldwebel Wolfgang Strunk (Stig Henrik Hoff), and Obergefreiter Josef Schwartz (David Kross). Unfortunately, Unteroffizier Hauk does not make it. Although Josef suffers an injury to his arm, it seems manageable as they set out to reach the coast and rejoin the conflict.
