Synopsis
Battle for Castle Itter
A small detachment of the 12th Armored Division is sent to rescue French political prisoners near the end of WWII. The soldiers take an instant dislike to the elite French who are equally unimpressed with the small rag-tag force sent to save them. But as SS troops surround the castle, the soldiers and prisoners will have to fight together if they have any chance of surviving the onslaught of the Elite SS soldiers.
The Pianist
The true story of pianist Władysław Szpilman's experiences in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation. When the Jews of the city find themselves forced into a ghetto, Szpilman finds work playing in a café; and when his family is deported in 1942, he stays behind, works for a while as a laborer, and eventually goes into hiding in the ruins of the war-torn city.
