I knew what Truth & Treason was about before I watched it. I thought I’d seen enough movies about Nazi Germany to be able to get through it in one piece. But no: by the end of this thing I was in tears.
Truth & Treason is based on the true story of Helmuth Hübener, who, as the closing title cards tell us, was “the youngest resistance fighter in Nazi Germany to be sentenced to death for taking a stand against Hitler.” He was 16 at the time of his arrest, and 17 when he was executed.
