2021-12-25 08:01
During the Second World War, in German POW camps, prisoners of war were managed separately according to their nationalities. The highest officer of American prisoners of war is Colonel Mcramara, a professional soldier, a mysterious and respected figure. Lieutenant Tom Hartoriginally a student of Yale Law School. Even in a prisoner-of-war camp, there is a hierarchy, with officers and soldiers living in separate barracks. Tom should have been assigned to the officer camp, but he and the colonel were not happy when they met. The colonel suspected that Tom was captured more than it seemed.
The fact is that Tom did give out some information during the interrogation. He concealed this fact from the colonel, and the colonel, who knew him well, assigned him to the soldiers' battalion as punishment. Also assigned to the soldier camp were two black pilots, Lincoln Scottand Rama Archer. Apartheid was still practiced in the U.S. military at that time. Two black officers were discriminated against and insulted by whites. Archer was framed by a white soldier and killed by the Germans. Soon, a white racist officer who bullied black people the most was killed, and an eyewitness identified Scott as a suspect. All the evidence was extremely detrimental to him.
German Nazi leader Fischeragreed to Colonel's request, and in accordance with the Geneva Treaty, a military court was opened to try Scott, and the colonel served as a judge. At this time, law student Tom successfully became Scott's lawyer and began the investigation. However, things are not as simple as they seem. Hart's in-depth investigation clashed with the colonel, and he and Scott did not understand each other. When the murder investigation distracted the Germans, the colonel began planning to take his soldiers out of the prisoner-of-war camp. Investigation and analysis lead to more secrets. When everything is about to be revealed, Hart faces a situation he has never experienced: between personal honor and national interest, between the duties of a soldier and his own beliefs, Tom Hart must make a decision to change his life
