- Synopsis
- On the night of April 1st, 1944, a German military train carrying 400 SS soldiers derailed in a small village in northern France, following a sabotage operation by the Resistance, who believed they were targeting a simple freight convoy. In retaliation, the Waffen SS massacred 86 innocent civilians. Eighty years later, the last remaining witnesses of this little-known tragedy break their silence and, for the first time, share their accounts of the horrors committed that night by the 12th SS Panzer Division, the Hitlerjugend.
