Summary

The documentary drama is the first part of the proposed cycle Myths and facts, which is trying to confront legendary places with historical facts. Nazi Germany didn’t survive, but in the Czech Republic a lot of interesting places and buildings remained. Some of them, such as an underground factory in Cheb, are connected with a mystery. Some of these mysteries haven’t been resolved to this day. What is hiding inside? What did they serve for? Did Germans try to devise a weapon that could change the course of World War II? And is it true that there are factory corridors that lead behind the border? In the film materials of the Military History Institute in Prague, Film Archive Aleš Sekera & Son and Archives of 97th Trident infantry division were used.
