Berlin, March 1943. The mood in Germany is bleak after their stunning defeat at
Stalingrad. Private Investigator Bernie Gunther is at work in the German War Cri
mes Bureau - weary, cynical but well aware of the value of truth in a world wher
e that's now a rarity.
When human remains are found deep in the Katyn Forest,
Bernie is sent to investigate. Rumour has it that this mass grave is full of Po
lish officers murdered by the Russians. For Josef Goebbels, proof of Russian inv
olvement is sure to destroy the Western Alliance, giving Germany a chance to rev
erse its devastating losses.
