Colonel Stuart Klink and Sergeant Dean Schultz were the top commanders at Stalag 13, a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. Their expertise in running the camp made them well-known within the German army. However, their time at Stalag 13 had taken its toll, and they yearned for a new life away from their past.
Using their skills in forgery and disguise, they created fake passports under the aliases Stuart Clare and Dean Ward. With their new identities, they boarded a plane to Toronto, Canada, where they found work as ramp agents at the airport.
For many years, Stuart and Dean lived peacefully in Canada, enjoying their new lives and the anonymity that came with it. However, their past was about to catch up with them. A Nazi hunter, determined to bring war criminals to justice, discovered their true identities.
The Nazi hunter confronted Stuart and Dean at the airport, threatening to expose them to the authorities. The former commanders were shocked and scared. They had worked hard to leave their past behind and didn’t want to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
But their military training kicked in, and they sprang into action. They used their knowledge of the airport and their quick thinking to evade the Nazi hunter and keep their cover intact. They knew they couldn’t rest for long, and they spent the next few months looking over their shoulders, constantly on the move to stay ahead of the hunter.
In the end, their resourcefulness and determination paid off. The Nazi hunter was unable to find any concrete evidence to link them to their past lives. Stuart and Dean were able to live the rest of their lives as Stuart Clare and Dean Ward, never fully able to shake the fear that their past would catch up with them. But they were grateful for the new lives they had built and the freedom they had found.
