Few of Leonid Berenshtein’s neighbors imagined that the elderly man who lived in an old, modest house was the last living commander of a courageous WWII partisan battalion. This striking film revisits his past, as we learn about how he helped locate the secret facility where the Nazis developed their last hope for victory over the Allies…the V2 missile. This docudrama is based on a true story.
