He does however manage to contact British nurse Barbara Lucas Dvorak, an old flame who once had Nazi sympathies, and takes refuge with the Krohns Martin Miller and Beatrice Varley, a couple who are reluctant Nazi agents due to threats being made of harm to family members in Germany if they fail to cooperate.Kohler finds himself being hunted both by the British MI5 and by German officials furious at his bungled mission in Belgium. He is traced by Dr. Schultz Henry Oscar, a ruthless Gestapo officer, who accuses him of inefficiency and cowardice. A shootout follows and Schultz is killed. Meanwhile, MI5 agent Milne Walter Fitzgerald picks up Kohlers trail. Kohler manages narrowly to avoid arrest and steals a Hawker Hurricane in which to fly back to Germany. Over the English Channel, he is spotted by German fighters who believe they are engaging a British pilot, and shoot the plane down. ........
