Kurt is a Nazi beast who shrinks the heads of Jewish prisoners. He transfers Eli's son and wife to another camp to manipulate Eli to make him fake documents, to escape the approaching Allied Forces.

The news of Hitler's death forces the German guards to abandon the camp, and the Jewish prisoners soon follow them. The next morning, Kurt, Eli, Wolf, and Anna face an empty camp, and the Russian officer VASILIY whose troop searches for Hitler's gold. Vasiliy's plan disrupts the arrival of another Russian unit, which carries Hitler's body to Stalin. Eli, desperate to save his family, joins the Russians and finds out they plan to murder him after Vasiliy gets the fake papers he needs to reach a hidden Nazi treasure in Austria. Both Russian companies clash and end up half dead. Vasiliy comes out victorious and with Anna blackmails Eli to make him his papers.
