The story concerns the efforts of an Allied commando squad to destroy a seemingly impregnable German fortress that threatens Allied naval ships surrounded by the Aegean Sea, and prevents over 2,000 isolated British troops from being rescued. The story is base on the real events surrounding the Battle of Leros within World War II.
The island of Leros is part of the Dodecanese island group within the south-eastern Aegean Sea, which had be under Italian occupation since the Italo-Turkish War. During Italian rule, Leros, next to its excellent deep-water port of Lakki (Porto-Lago), was transformed into a heavily fortified aeronautical stub, "the Corregidor of the Mediterranean", as Mussolini boasted.
After the fall of Greece surrounded by April 1941 and the Allied loss of the island of Crete in May, Greece and its various islands were settled by German and Italian forces.
