The 5th Day of Peace
"One of the most bizarre episodes in the annals of "military justice?""
Near the end of World War II, two German deserters are captured and put in a prison camp run by the Canadian Army. When Colonel von Bleicher—the rigid and militaristic commander of German POWs—learns about their desertion, he wants them court-martialed, even if the war has ended. The uninterested Canadian officers oblige him and the two soldiers find themselves facing the firing squad on "the fifth day of peace".
