The untold story of an assassination plot on Adolf Hitler by the men in his command. A wonderful cast from both sides of the pond. Even though the outcome is predictable, it is a very riveting watch.
- Many scenes were re-shot because a large part of the film reel was destroyed by spilled chemicals.
- 3 of the cast members also starred in the German film d\Downfall, chronicalling the last days of Adolf Hilter's life
