Synopsis

Varsovie, 12 décembre 1942. Une prostituée vient d'être sauvagement assassinée. Selon un témoin, le meurtrier serait un général de la Wehrmacht. L'enquête est confiée au major Graü. Ce dernier ne tarde pas à suspecter trois hommes : le général Kahlenberg, le général Seidlitz-Gabler et le général Tanz, un homme parfois sujet à des pulsions maniaques, mais également un héros, le général favori d'Hitler. Durant une soirée organisée par la femme du général Gabler, sa fille Ulrike est présentée à Tanz, en vue de favoriser leur mariage. Mais celle-ci tombe dans les bras de Hartmann, un caporal revenant du front russe affecté auprès de Kahlenberg.
