It is the beginning of 1945 during WW2 in former Austria.
500 Russian prisoners of war who have refused to fight on the side
of the Germans
against their country were moved to the concentration camp in Mauthausen
awaiting execution. They decide to break out. One winter night the
Russian prisoners make an escape. During the following shooting a great
number of them gets killed. Some, however, succeed to hide in nearby
villages. But the German Nazis convince the inhabitants of the villages
to hunt the prisoners "like rabbits". |
