Summary:

Feature length drama relating the events of the Gleiwitz incident, a Nazi scheme revealed during the Nuremberg Trials. Devised by the SS as a propaganda plot, the plan included Germans posing as Polish aggressors and storming a German radio station, thus justifying the invasion of Poland. From the planning stages to the execution, this drama faithfully recreates events, including the murder of a Dachau inmate whose body was to be used as evidence against Poland.
