| Summary Note |
Set in the chaotic final weeks of World War II in Germany, The Captain is the astonishing true story of a teenage solider whose sadism would eventually earn him the nickname of 'The Executioner of Emsland'. As a young soldier fleeing military police after abandoning his post, Willi Herold stumbles onto a Nazi captain's uniform...and wears it to avoid execution. But while disguised and high on the terrifying charisma of his clothing, he invents a secret mission from the Fuhrer and embarks on a brutal odyssey of torture and slaughter. |
