Plot



Following the truce between Italy and the Allies in World War II, German forces occupy Naples and begin to shoot resisters, demolish port facilities and round up young men to be transported to Germany as forced labour. The city's population, aware that Allied forces are close and determined to disrupt the deportations, revolt against the Germans, despite their limited arms and organization. After four days, Germans forces retreat from the city just before Allied troops arrive by advancing from the Salerno beachhead.
