It was the final, freezing hours before Christmas day, 1944 - in the last bitter winter of the war. High on a mountain ledge in Belgium, a handful of American GIs, trapped by ice and fear, were alone. They were surrounded by the final horror of the crumbling Nazi nightmare - The Battle of the Bulge. Behind them was the greatest scientific prize of the war - the wreckage of the first jet plane.
