| abstract | - A 1994 movie based on a 1992 novel by Robert Harris. In 1964 within an alternate timeline where Hitler won the war, Hitler invites U.S. president Joseph P. Kennedy (JFK's father) to his 75th birthday celebrations, hoping to reach a détente that helps beating the Russian partisans. Meanwhile a number of high ranking Nazi officers are found or getting killed, in order to remove the final obstacle to détente, the blackmailable existence of the last witnesses of the biggest secret of the war, the Final Solution. The movie deals with Charlotte Maguire, an American journalist, Franz Luther, the last witness contacting Maguire, and Xavier March (played by Rutger Hauer), a good-natured police investigator digging deeper than Gestapo deems acceptable to solve the case.
