When the car stops, the two historians find themselves in Bad Reichenhall, the town where Karl Ullrich, one of the most well-known commanders of the infamous Waffen-SS divisions 'Totenkopf' and 'Wiking, lives. An unplanned meeting turns into an interview that lasts multiple days, which gives a unique perspective on the life of this offcer. He shares his past so openly that one could mistake this for his confession.
