The Nazis' Cut and Run

In October 2021, digging will once again take place in the idyllic Arnsberg Forest. 77 years after the horrific events, a team of archaeologists tries to restore some dignity to the murdered here - by recovering and burying the last seven victims. Only to find that a federal highway now runs above the spot where they were buried by their killers. They will probably never be recovered.This documentary traces what happened in that forest at that time, reconstructs the course of events with the help of re-enactments and historical film footage, lets contemporary witnesses speak for the first time, and explores the reasons why the murder of 208 men, women and children went more or less unpunished.
