Auch Henker sterben (1943)
Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich, genannt der “Henker von Prag”, wird bei einem Attentat getötet. Verantwortlich ist der Arzt Dr. Svoboda, Mitglied der tschechischen Widerstandsbewegung. Die Gestapo setzt alle Hebel in Bewegung, um den Täter zu fassen. Durch die Unterstützung der jungen Masha Novotna kann Svoboda knapp einem Zugriff entkommen, doch nun zieht sich die Schlinge immer enger. Bei einer Razzia wird Mashas Vater verhaftet und zu einer Gruppe Geiseln gesperrt. Als die Gestapo droht, diese zu erschießen, muss Svoboda handeln. Zusammen mit dem tschechischen Widerstand wird ein Plan geschmiedet.
