Story about an Estonian military unit that was active until the early 1960s. Watchkeeping company no. 4221 watched the war criminals of noble rank during Nuremberg Trials. Estonians who fought in Waffen-SS against Bolshevism and later were in military prison were actually watching their chiefs in Nuremberg. It is difficult to explain how Estonians could get such a close access to the events of Nuremberg Trials. The documentary reveals the historical background information about the strange situation and former soldiers, who are still alive, share their memories.
