Where Eagles Dare

U.S. Army Brigadier General George Carnaby is captured by the Germans in the Alps of southern Bavaria. A team of seven Allied commandos, led by British Major John Smith of the Grenadier Guards, is briefed by Colonel Turner (Patrick Wymark) and Admiral Rolland (Michael Hordern) of MI6. Disguised as German troops, they are to parachute in, enter the castle, and rescue General Carnaby before the Germans can interrogate him. Two of the team are mysteriously killed, but Smith continues the operation, keeping Schaffer as a close ally.
