Hitler's Madman

The year is 1942. A young paratrooper returns to Czechoslovakia. He is serving in the Royal Air Force. What he comes back for is to rouse his countrymen. He asks them to sabotage the German war effort. The film is set inside the events of that year. The assassination of Reinhard Heydrich is at the centre of the account. The Lidice massacre is inside it as well. The work runs drama and war together. Resistance and occupation are the two sides of the account. The film was made while the war was still going on. Patricia Morison and John Carradine take the leads, with Alan Curtis and Ralph Morgan also in the cast, in Douglas Sirk’s American film of 1943.
