"Which Way to the Front?"

Which Way to the Front? Brendan Byers III (Jerry), the richest man in America, has been pronounced unfit to serve in the army of his country by the medical examination board. However, Mr. Byers is not the kind of man who takes "No" for an answer and soon a new player enters World War II. Byers is a dead ringer for Field Marshal Eric Kesselring, and with a crack squad of operatives, they infiltrate Hitler’s bunker in an attempt to plant a bomb and end the war. This was one of the top grossing films in Europe even though it got minimal release in the US. Jerry also won the Best Director award in Europe for this film.
