Description
"Germany, 1934: the Nazi authorities in a small town need an executioner to put a group of political prisoners to death, otherwise Hitler won't visit their town. Teetjen, the town butcher, facing bankruptcy, agrees to do the dirty deed...[T]his important classic was directed by a former anti-Nazi resistance fighter, Falk Harnack. Ironically, the film, which starred concentration camp survivor Erwin Geschonneck in the lead role, was withdrawn after its release because its nuanced portrait of a Nazi perpetrator was considered too sympathetic." -- Container.
