Gestapo

Gestapo

Torture - Whippings - Extreme Canings - Hard Punishment

Right after the attempted assassination of Hitler, Himmler set up the 'Special Committee of July 20', whose responsibility was to investigate all the circumstances of the putsch. It was the biggest police squad in number ever set up in connection with one case. They tortured the suspects and brought them before the court. Court President Freisler sentenced more and more people to death.

The creators of the film do not identify with the Nazi conceptions. The film illustrates the brutality of this historical period; the uniforms, dialogues and Hitler’s voice are used exclusively for portraying the era in an authentic way.
