Much like the indefatigable truth teller of “The Nasty Girl,” Michael Verhoeven’s fact-inspired 1990 drama about a schoolgirl curious about her town’s Nazi past, Radmann finds his investigation is viewed as an annoying self-indulgence, or worse, by many around him.

Army Document Center, he finds evidence that thousands of former Nazis simply returned to their everyday lives following the war, and were left free to do so by a German citizenry eager to return to normalcy during the postwar era of the economic miracle. And none of them has anything to worry about.” Sure enough, as Radmann delves through the mountains of files stored at the U.S.

It takes only a few more inquiries for Radmann to realize that this is not an isolated case, and that, as a more informed associate explains, “The public sector is full of Nazis. Radmann is initially bewildered by this institutionalized disinterest, especially after he discovers, after only the most cursory of investigations, that the teacher had been a member of the Waffen SS in Auschwitz. Trouble is, no police official wants to accept a complaint against the schoolteacher, and no one at the prosecutor’s office wants to file a charge. His curiosity is piqued - and, yes, his ambition is stoked - during a brief encounter with Thomas Gneilka (Andre Szymanski), a gadfly journalist seeking justice for his artist friend Simon Kirsch (Johannes Krisch), an Auschwitz survivor who recently spotted one of his wartime tormentors teaching at a local school. When he is introduced in 1958 Frankfurt, Radmann is a new hire at the public prosecutor’s office, and already impatient for tasks more meaningful than working in traffic court. Alexander Fehling (“Inglourious Basterds”) evinces an effective mix of naivete, idealism and implacable dedication - along with flashes of self-righteousness, and bottled-up rage that occasionally is uncorked – in the lead role of Johann Radmann, a composite of three real-life prosecutors who participated in the 1963-65 Frankfurt Auschwitz trials.
