Details

• Release Year: 1961

• Plot: To justify their invasion of Poland at the beginning of World War II, the Nazi high command hatches a secret plan: six Polish men from an SS training camp are sent on a special mission to the town of Gleiwitz, to fake a Polish raid on Germany. The 'provoked' Germans will thus launch a 'counterattack' on Poland.
