The Gleiwitz Case (1961)

6.6 | Aug 23, 1961 (DE) | Drama, History, Thriller | 01:04

To justify their invasion of Poland at the start of WWII, 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.
