The story

The murder of a prostitute, who was also a German agent, in German-occupied Warsaw in 1942 causes Heer Major Grau of the Wehrmacht's Abwehr to start an investigation. His evidence soon points to the killer being one of three German generals: General von Seidlitz-Gabler; Major General Kahlenberge, von Seidlitz-Gabler's chief of staff; or Heer General Tanz, a highly decorated officer and a favorite of Adolf Hitler's. Grau's investigation is cut short by his sudden promotion and transfer to Paris at the instigation of these officers.
