Suggested by orz1992
In the final months of WWII, an elite Allied unit is sent behind enemy lines to investigate a silent battlefield—no bodies, no survivors. Trapped in crumbling trenches and scorched forests, the soldiers are hunted by ancient, inhuman entities awakened by the chaos of war. A seasoned, diverse unit of Allied soldiers is sent into a remote Eastern European region where a brutal battle was reported—but radio contact was suddenly lost. When they arrive, they find the area deserted. No German troops. No Allies. Only blood, bullet holes… and something not quite human watching them. As night falls, strange sounds echo through the trees. Soldiers vanish without a trace. Some are found mutilated, but not in ways that make sense—bones twisted inward, symbols carved into flesh, eyes turned to stone. The survivors realize they’re not just fighting to survive war… but something older and far worse.
