...Henie to Hitler. For a fast start, he became a United Press European correspondent-after agreeing to pay his own way to London in 1935. Two months later he went on to Germany, covering the 1936 Olympics and the Nazi Party rally with correspondents twice his age and many times his experience. His interview subjects ranged from Sonja Henie to Adolf Hitler. He returned to the U.S. after two years, settled for a job as office boy in the advertising department of the now defunct Indianapolis Times.

One of them is also a latter-day Hans the Ripper who murders and mutilates a prostitute. After the three comes Major Grau (Omar Sharif), an intelligence officer whose magnificent obsession is justice. Outranked by the generals and outflanked by the Allies, he is determined that in the midst of the war's mass murders the wanton killing of one innocent woman...
