13 Minutes (2015) Synopsis

Georg Elser, a master carpenter in Konstanz from the Swabian town Königsbronn, is frustrated because of his home town fiance's constant abuse by his lush father Ludwig and despises the brutish Nazi regime. On 8 November 1939 he flees from the Münich Bürgerbräukeller, which was evacuated 13 minutes before the home-made bomb he managed to plant there near the podium Hitler was to speech on, only to be arrested at the Swiss Lake Konstanz border with suspicious contraband -map and detonator- and hear it only killed eight spectators. Arthur Nebe, chef of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt police, can barely curb Gestapo chef Heinrich Müller's zeal to question the sole suspect violently, for days demanding his accomplices, but he practically manages to prove he needed none, yet threatening his loved ones yields a confession and conviction. In concentration camps Sachsenhausen and Dachau, Georg Elser awaits his fate until 9 April 1945.—KGF Vissers
