The last great partisan, the man who located and destroyed the facility where Hitler had developed his doomsday weapon, dives into his past. From these memories, rise sights that accompanied his life: children burned before his eyes, fellow partisans he executed, the love of his life which he relinquished, the Jewish prisoners he saved and the way he revealed his real name.
