The actions of the Heitger brothers and their accomplices read like a Western from the Weimar Republic, particularly keeping the West on edge in the years 1927 and 1928: a robbery of a cash courier in Essen, a bank heist in Gladbeck, as well as a knife fight in Bavaria, a break-in at the Munich police headquarters, ambushes, arrests, and escapes, the hijacking of a tram, and finally a spectacular conclusion with wild shootouts in Cologne. A gripping courtroom thriller forms the second part. It is the story of Willi Hübsche, a partner of the Heitgers, who was once labeled the most dangerous criminal in the Ruhr area. He committed his crimes even during the time of National Socialism, until he ultimately fell into the clutches of the new justice system. From car models to verbal duels: everything is based on extensive archival research. A true crime story!.
