As head of the Gestapo in Lyon, Klaus Barbie personally tortured prisoners and oversaw the deaths of thousands of people.

But back in France, Nazi hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld were determined Barbie should be found and brought to trial. When a photograph emerged suggesting Barbie was alive and well in Bolivia, they began a mission that would last over a decade and involve a race-against-time pursuit to the border of Peru, a failed kidnap attempt, shady international deals and, finally, a cloak and dagger night flight to France where the notorious butcher was eventually brought to account.

Twelve O`Clock High

Genre:.....................WWII Film
Language:.................English - No Subs
Picture:...................B&W
Runtime:..................2Hr12mins
Size:........................1.24Gb

The war-time memories of surviving World War II bomber squadrons were still crystal clear when this acclaimed drama was released in 1949--one of the first post-war films out of Hollywood to treat the war on emotionally complex terms. Framed by a post-war prologue and epilogue and told as a flashback appreciation of war-time valour and teamwork, the film stars Gregory Peck in one of his finest performances as a callous general who assumes command of a bomber squadron based in England. At first, the new commander has little rapport with the 918th Bomber Group, whose loyalties still belong with their previous commander. As they continue to fly dangerous mission over Germany, however, the group and their new leader develop mutual respect and admiration, until the once-alienated commander feels that his men are part of a family--men whose bravery transcends the rigours of rigid discipline and by-the-book leadership.

Those who refuse are ticketed for sterilization, or worse. One of the holdouts is Bonita Granville, a German girl raised and educated in America whose taste of democracy has made her utterly resistant to Nazism.
