April 1945. In a dramatic operation the SS transports 139 special prisoners, and kin of the prisoners, into the Alps. The plan: to use the prisoners as bargaining chips in possible negotiations with the Allies. During the journey a number of prisoners plan their escape and experience six days between liberty and death, their fates in the hands of ruthless and increasingly nervous criminals. But the hostages band together and turn the tables with a clever ploy: they call in the Wehrmacht to aid them…

01On April 26, 1945, a fateful convoy carrying prisoners leaves the Dachau concentration camp. It transports the SS's special and clan prisoners: 139 people from 17 European countries whom the Nazis believe are "worth more than an entire division." Aristocrats, clergy, high-ranking military and political officials—including the families of Hitler's assassins. They were all pawns in a plan that sounded insane but had a method to it: in the face of impending defeat, the SS wanted to entrench themselves in the Alps with what they believed to be their best bargaining chip.
