As the Red Army closes in on the last few blocks surrounding the Fuhrerbunker a famous aviatrix lands her light aircraft in the center of the shattered German capital. Two days later she takes off again. With her is a man called Heinrich Bechmann SS mass killer and personal bodyguard of the German chancellor Adolf Hitler and with Bechmann is a file of documents.
