June, 1941. The French partisan Andre Bouchard - known as "The Butcher
of Calais" for his bloody crusade against the Nazis - leads a desperate
band of resistance fighters to strike a blow against the occupying
German army. Their mission: derail a train traveling to Calais carrying
German troops and their supplies, then kill every living soul on board.
Everything
seems to be going according to plan, but the fate of an innocent
village boy becomes entangled with Bouchard's plot. Will he risk the
success of the mission to save the boy, or will the Butcher of Calais
strike at his enemies, no matter the consequences?

Calais is a short story of the French Resistance during World War Two.
It is related to the events that take place in the novel COMMANDO:
