Synopsis:
The Boy Commandos land on the coast of Greece. They meet with Greek guerrillas to gather supplies. The boys then take the supplies by cart into the mountains where a unit of British soldiers are battling the Nazis. The group comes to a camp filled with soldiers dressed in British uniforms. However, the soldiers are really disguised Nazis.
A Nazi guide leads the real British troops to the camp and a trap. Rip and the Commandos surprise the Germans and with the help of the British the Nazi camp is overrun. The supplies are turned over to the British troops, then the Commandos join in a raid at a Nazi railyard. The battle goes well until a Nazi tank threatens to kill the commandos. British cameraman Spud Mattson, who has been filming the action, charges the tank as a human bomb. He sacrifices himself to destroy the tank. His film is then returned to London for the newsreels.
