“Death is my Trade” centers on the life of Rudolph Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz II-Birkenau for the majority of its existence. The main character's name in the film is Franz Lang. This name change was deliberate to ensure that the character is not automatically viewed as being some sort of villain or demon. Franz is an average German kid growing up during World War I. The film follows Franz as he grows up and becomes a hard, efficient, organized worker who eventually joins the National Socialist party in Germany. Impressionable young Franz takes orders as one of the utmost points of honor and duty, so when he is eventually asked by Heinrich Himmler to become commandant of the largest extermination camp built during WWII he barely hesitates to consider how heavy such a burden will be. close

January 24, 1941. The 22nd Earl of Errol was found dead on the Nairobi-Ngong road during the outbreak of World War II.
The golden age of the British Empire was nearing its end, but the empire’s influence around the world remained significant. Few places have colonial life been more luxurious than in Kenya, which has become one of the brightest diamonds in the British crown. World War II was raging, and the dances in Nairobi continued.
Who would have thought that this would be the last day for the secular lion, Count Errol. Josslyn Victor Haye, 22nd Earl of Errol and hereditary Lord Constable of Scotland, was killed on the road from Ngong to Nairobi. It is possible that Count Errol's murder was not a surprise. But even for wartime, the trial of the English baronet, Sir Jock Dalvis Broten, accused of murdering the Earl, was a sensation. Many then and then suspected Broten's wife. She was Errol's mistress and wanted to marry him, but her plan failed. . .
Did the cuckold Jock Brothen pull the trigger, or was his young wife the killer? Or maybe he was a victim of political intrigue? close
