In 1943, the Axis powers plan an assault on the island of Keros, where 2,000 British soldiers are marooned, hoping to convince neutral Turkey to join them.

Disguised as Greek fishermen they cross the Aegean Sea and overwhelm the crew of a German patrol boat.

Mallory stops Franklin's attempt to kill himself, and lies that their mission has been scrubbed in favour of an amphibious assault.
