Hostages of the SS (2015)
Synopsis
April 1945. In a dramatic operation the SS transports 139 special prisoners, and kin of the prisoners, into the Alps.

But the hostages band together and turn the tables with a clever ploy: they call in the Wehrmacht to aid them…

Ep. 1: Episode 1
On April 26, 1945, a fateful convoy carrying prisoners leaves the Dachau concentration camp. It transports the SS's special and clan prisoners: 139 people from 17 European countries whom the Nazis believe are "worth more than an entire division." Aristocrats, clergy, high-ranking military and political officials—including the families of Hitler's assassins. They were all pawns in a plan that sounded insane but had a method to it: in the face of impending defeat, the SS wanted to entrench themselves in the Alps with what they believed to be their best bargaining chip.
