柏林1945年春天。第三帝国的日子已经屈指可数。党卫军中校赫尔穆特参与了刺杀元首希特勒的行动，不料计划失败，为了逃避追查，他通过“换脸手术”转换身份变成了犹太人。在集中营里经受了种种磨难之后，他幸运的活了下来，不堪的过去似乎已经远去？但命运再次发生转折。
        SS-Lieutenant Colonel Helmut von Schreader concieves an unusual plan to escape the aftermath of the Second World War by disguising himself as a Jewish Concentration Camp victim. Under the alias of Ben Grossman, von Screader is liberated from the camps and immigrates to Palastine where he joins the Zionist movement. Twenty five years later, living as a hero of Isreal and a General in the Isreali Army, the underground SS orginization ODESSA locates Von Schreader and orders to him to again serve the cause of the Third Reich.
