Description

Documentary film about the racing cyclist Albert Richter, who was murdered by the Gestapo in Lörrach during the Third Reich. In addition to depicting the unique cycling career of German champion and world champion Albert Richter, the film reconstructs the background to his murder by the Nazis in January 1940. Almost imperceptibly, the viewer is drawn into an exciting political criminal case and its investigation on camera.
