Six are captured, tortured, and strung up on one of seven crosses in built in the camp. The seventh cross remains empty.

Quotes from
Bruno Sauer: Thank you for speaking of your plans in front of me. It's a good feeling.
Bruno Sauer: Come in. You want to see me? What can I do for you?
[Sauer is at the mirror, shaving with a straight razor]
Paul Roeder: I bring you the regards of a mutual friend. I wonder if you still remember him. He was with you once on a canoeing excursion.
[Sauer pauses and looks frightened, then continues shaving]
Bruno Sauer: I'm afraid I don't understand. Whose regards are you bringing me?
Paul Roeder: It was more than three years ago. You said to him that if there was ever something big he wanted done, he could count on you.
Bruno Sauer: I still don't understand at all. I think you must have the wrong address. You'll have to excuse me. I'm afraid your friend put you in touch with the wrong man. I happen to be in a great hurry just now. Hedy! Will you show this man the door, Hedy?
[He continues shaving, but he cuts himself]
Bruno Sauer: I came because I had something to tell you.
Leo Hermann: We haven't seen you for some time. Sit down.
Bruno Sauer: No, thank you. I'll just tell you, and then I'll go. A man came to see me this morning. I had never seen him before, but what he told me may be something in which you are interested. He said he came with a message from a mutual friend. He didn't name the mutual friend, but I think he was speaking of George Heisler. You all know that Heisler escaped from Westhofen and is hiding somewhere in the city. He needs help. I think that's why he sent the man to me. I couldn't be sure the man was what he said he was, so I sent him away. I think now I may have been mistaken.
Leo Hermann: What was the messenger's name?
Bruno Sauer: I don't know. He didn't tell me.
Leo Hermann: What did he look like?
Bruno Sauer: Small, slight, sandy-haired and freckled. Clothes - he might have been a factory worker. He wore glasses.
Franz Marnet: That must be...
Bruno Sauer: I don't blame you for not being willing to speak in front of me. I'll go now. I've told you all I know.
Leo Hermann: Wait. Sit down. You've done a great deal for us. Franz, who's the man?
Franz Marnet: Paul Roeder. It must be Paul Roeder. Little? A wide mouth? A manner like a boy? I'm not sure where he lives, but I know the neighborhood. I'll inquire at the market.
