(4) YA Two teenaged German refugees in WWII England are recruited for a secret mission: remove nine-year-old Angelika (Hitler's possible daughter) from a convent in Bavaria and bring her to Switzerland. Cinematically crafted scenes provide non-stop action and an explosive ending. Over-the-top characterizations of heroic adolescents flying planes, shooting machine guns, and dodging ammunition result in a historical adventure that is less than realistic.
