In November of 1939, the British consulate in Norway receives documents saying that the Nazis are conducting secret rocket research in Peenemünde. But the British doubt the authenticity of the so called "Oslo report". Thus, the Germans continue their experiments unimpeded. At the same time, resistance groups from France, England, Poland, and Germany try to find and to sabotage the secret Nazi research base. When the first "V 2" rocket is successfully launched, the Allied commanders finally become interested in the "Oslo report".

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
East Germany's 1967 answer to Western spy thrillers, produced when the GDR was desperate for international prestige and anti-fascist credentials.
The real Oslo Report was genuine—German anti-Nazi physicist Hans Ferdinand Mayer leaked it, and yes, the British really did ignore it for months. The V-2 killed 2,724 Londoners before they believed.
