Are you a man?


 

 

This drama is a historical fiction based on the true story of Otto Ohlendorf, SS-Gruppenführer and Commander of Einsatzgruppe D, and follows its anti-hero Anton George, an ordinary young man who transforms into a remorseless killer.

 

June 1941, at the extreme southern end of the eastern front. Commanding Officer Ohlendorf, scientific analyst and good in reading people, leads his special killing squad on a race-extermination expedition.  All members of the unit are hand-picked:  young, in good mental health, educated, of excellent character and with no criminal record.  Just twelve months later, these men are responsible for the killing of over 90,000 people - innocent men, women and children.
