The monks, surprised by the presence of the Jew, are deeply disturbed because the Catholic chaplain is making no effort to convert his two friends. 6) In the grandly desolate marshlands which edge the Po, a group of Italian partisans (with some Russian, English and American helpers) are hemmed in by the Germans, trapped and finally killed...
