An SS commander is assassinated by partisans after a brutal Nazi reprisal in a Czech village. «They offered me this film, which had to be shot quite quickly: they gave me a week of shooting. It was specifically pitched to me as a very low-budget movie, not even a B-movie, but a C- or D-movie. I realized that it represented both opportunity and danger. I could be useful and I could launch myself. Or I could pigeonhole myself as a B-series director. And when this happens to you, no matter how good you are, you can definitely get pigeonholed. Ulmer, for example, I think he is a good director, but he was pigeonholed in the B series while he was in Hollywood ». (Douglas Sirk)
