Abstract |
Joseph Goebbels is rejected by Maria Brandt, a novice actress, and this so incenses the lustful, vindictive Goebbels that he spends the rest of his twisted life trying to get even with her. During the so-called "Night of the long knives" (when top Nazis purged their ranks of enemies), Goebbels orders the death of Col. Brandt, Maria's father, among others on his "hit" list. Maria flees the Nazi scourge to marry Hans Traeger in Vienna but the long arm of the Nazis reaches out to ruin her life. She winds up in Berlin and is killed during an air raid. |
