Shortly after the end of the Second World War: In 1945 and 1946, the men of the British "War Crimes Investigation Unit" drove through northern Germany on the hunt for Nazi criminals. One of them is Captain Anton Walter Freud, the grandson of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. Anton Walter Freud fled to London with his family from the Nazis in 1938. Now an intelligence officer, he's back to track down killers on Allied wanted lists: hitmen in pinstripes, brutal SS henchmen, and ruthless doctors who conducted medical experiments even on children. The soldiers who witnessed the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp months earlier are not squeamish about it. 24-year-old Freud is a free spirit known for his unorthodox methods. He knows how to make war criminals talk. So he comes across a crime that has hardly been known before, the murder of 20 children in Hamburg in the last days of the war.

Don D @MusicMath Jun 22 A powerful film that brings you intimately into the utter cruelty, barbarianism, and horror of what the Nazi machine did to millions of people from all over Europe, at least 12 million of whom were mercilessly murdered under orders of the fascist pig Adolph Hitler. We are shown and get to know 20 of the beautiful, innocent children who enduring 'medical experiments' by cold and nefarious Nazi 'doctors', only to be killed afterwards. The story is partially narrated by two of these little children, now quite elderly, who miraculously survived. If by the end of the movie you have not shed tears, then you are not a live human being. Highly recommended for all to see, including those in the USA and elsewhere who now live under marginal or full fascism. See more Benjamin H @RT24973379 11/09/2023 Heil Hitler! Nazi scalps! See more Patricia B @RT08569109 10/12/2023 Riveting film, but prepare yourself. History is brutal. The film artfully interpolates scenes of the actual children actors playing, etc. to make it a little less …heart rending, if that's possible. There are also scenes from adult survivors of the actual event which really anchors the movie. The drama itself is very well done with excellent, understated acting. I highly recommend.
