Flucht aus der Hölle (1960)
Directed by Hans-Erich Korbschmitt
Overview
Algeria, mid-50s: it is the time of uprisings against the French colonial power. The German-born foreign legionary Hans Röder witnesses inhuman criminal actions against members of the Algerian resistance movement. These go to the account of the French secret organisation “Red Hand”, but it cannot use witnesses. Röder deserts and tries to bring his observations to the public. He is relentlessly pursued by the “Red Hand”, which leaves a bloody trace. Röder flees to West Germany, but here too the arm of the organisation enough. He sees no other way out than to escape to the GDR.
