A mortally wounded man comes to their door, begging to be let in. He asks for Karl Hoffmann, their father. Gerta and Max watch as Karl tries in vain to save the man's life. Before he dies, the stranger gives their father a bloodstained packet of documents, along with a message: For the sake of humanity, the F hrer must die. Finish it, Karl Based on real events, this is the story of two children swept up in a fight for the soul of Germany -- and the world.
