For most of the viewing time, Grau, the Colonel of the Intelligence Service of the Third Reich, was a mystery to me. Why was he in that war-torn and complex age, (the Nazi Empire was close to collapse, and a group of "Wehrmacht" officers were trying to overthrow Hitler and make peace with the Allies). Instead of thinking about his own future and future, he just thinks about vindicating a few insignificant prostitutes. Yes, what personal grudges does he have with those "suspects" (several German generals)? Or is there some ulterior political purpose?
But it wasn't until I saw the middle of the film that I understood that we, Colonel Grau, only need one truth! The truth about the murder of a prostitute!
In his opinion, even the generals of the Wehrmacht who tried to kill Hitler were not good people. "They are just a bunch of politicians, and everything is just for the sake of their political future."
So, when the real killer, General Tanz, put a sinful bullet in his chest, he couldn't believe himself! Ended up with such a tragic end!
Yes, in a sad world, an upright person is equivalent to a "dead-hearted person".
