A unique film on the 35th anniversary of Claus von Stauffenberg's attempt to kill Hitter.
The bomb plot to blow Adolf Hitler to pieces as he studied his campaigns in the map-room of the Wolf's Lair on 20 July 1944 failed. The conspirators were rounded up, put on trial, and hanged.
To savour his revenge at leisure, Hitler ordered the trials and death-throes of his enemies to be filmed. Four hours of Hitler's film has finally been tracked down. From it emerges a unique and bizarre parody of justice, as the traitors to the Third Reich are hounded to their death-slow-hanging on piano wire. Hitler's avenging Prosecutor is Roland Freisler ; a perverted star in a sadistic screen role that he knew would please the Führer, as he watched these pictures in his cinema in the Wolf's Lair.
