Adolescent Tom lost his parents and home in the Nazi bombing of Rotterdam. The orphan is taken in on uncle Tjerp's Friesian farm. Old farmhand Bauke gets him a (German!) shepherd puppy, even grumpy Tjerp can't resist their instant bond. As Tjerp feared, the boy takes grave risks wanting to revenge his parents on the German occupation garrison. Finding Dutch RAF gunner Haaksma starts a series of dangerous adventures.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
The Dutch have a long-standing tradition of producing horrendous movies, with bad acting, poorly researched historical backgrounds and teeny tiny stories spread out all over the place.This movie was no exception. Some of the props were nice (uniforms, vehicles), but o my, the dialogs! Too much explanation, too clumsy, and way too much feel good.My inner child cringed at every bump in the road to perdition.I'm tempted to end this snarly review with a nasty pun about this being the mother of all snuff movies (as all things lovely about film in general are brutally slaughtered), but that would not be fair on the dog, who admittedly did his very best and had a beautiful smile.
