    Brief synopsis

    In the final dramatic weeks of the Second World War, resistance against the Nazi regime of injustice reached a climax in many communities in the southwest. The docudrama "Unknown Heroes - Resistance in the Southwest" uses historical images, eyewitness accounts and dramatized scenes to show how courageous people risked their lives in the fight against National Socialism.
