Synopsis

September 1940, the Battle of Britain is over, the Luftwaffe has air superiority over England and the invasion of England has been set in motion. Jimmy Webb and his two lifelong friends, Penny Packard and Harry Hughes, who live in the southeast of England, in a clifftop village between Dover and Folkestone are all involved in the defence of Britain, despite being 17 years old. Jimmy is in the resistance, a member of an Auxiliary Patrol, Harry is a member of the Home Guard whilst Penny has been recruited as a local intelligence agent, a member of the Auxiliary Units Special Duties Branch tasked with reporting on enemy actions, troop movements and the morale of the populace. Karl Dressler, leader of an SS Assault Group of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, the crack unit of the Waffen-SS, has been tasked with securing and holding the area between Dover and Folkestone, an area that includes the invasion headquarters. The story of the invasion is told through the eyes of Jimmy, Penny and Karl. The nascent romance between Jimmy and Penny is interrupted by the invasion and the SS Officer also becomes involved with Penny. The invasion has violent and painful consequences for all, bringing the horror of war to English soil.
