In Palestine in 1948, the British prepare to end their Mandate, leaving an independent Israel behind. The problems of the British might be ending, but for the new state of Israel, they're just beginning. Israel is surrounded by hostile Arab nations and must fight to defend itself from aggression. The Israeli defense force, the Haganah, has received intelligence that Arab forces, Syria in particular, are employing former German Panzer commander General Gustav Schiller to train them in tank tactics against Israel. The Israelis also learn that General Schiller's wife, Judith Auerbach Schiller, is a Jewish woman who was betrayed by her husband and left to die in a concentration camp. Judith has survived the camp and is searching for her husband to exact revenge and to locate their son. The Haganah decides to find Judith and use her knowledge to locate the general, positively identify him, and make him reveal the Syrian attack plans. Judith is smuggled into Israel and hidden in a kibbutz under the care of Haganah commander Aaron Stein. Life in the kibbutz is not easy for Judith, work is hard, safety is not guaranteed and she grows impatient and frustrated. Haganah leaders suggest to her that the British may have a file on her husband, like on most war criminals, and it might contain his latest whereabouts. However, this means Judith needs to get close to the local British commander, Major Lawton, who has access to the files. When Major Lawton finally succumbs to sensual Judith's charms, he hands over the file to her, and she learns that General Gustav Schiller was last seen in Damascus, Syria. The Israeli intelligence team decides to go into the lion's den and try to capture the German General. Judith is asked to go along with the team to identify the General, but she is only thinking of revenge. Written by nufs68
