- Synopsis:
War drama, in which the preparation for and the execution of a death sentence on the SS and Police Leader in the Warsaw District, Franz Kutschera, on 01 February 1944 is depicted. Franz Kutschera had been sentenced to death by the leadership of the Armia Krajowa for his ordering of the mass executions of Poles in occupied Warsaw. This decision was made in consultation with the government of the Republic of Poland then in exile in London. Young "soldiers" under the command of "Zawada" prepare for the mission by carjacking German vehicles, acquiring machine pistols and grenades, and laying out the plans for the ambush outside of police headquarters. After the successful action, the roads of retreat close down quickly; and massive retaliation on the part of the occupiers doesn't make an escape easier. Several of the assassins are injured and are brought to local hospitals for operations. But the Gestapo quickly decides to search medical facilities for the wounded men. Meanwhile, two other assassins are cornered on a bridge and have to jump into the Vistula to escape capture. Many of the young heroes are killed; but the mission is accomplished. - Actors:
