I 1933 griber Adolf Hitler magten i Tyskland, hvor han har forført befolkningen med gyldne løfter om ro og orden samt en genrejsning af Det Stortyske Rige. Lige så elegant udnytter han de andre vestmagters angst for konfrontation til uhindret at opruste. Før naboerne aner uråd, rykker tidens mest moderne krigs-maskine over de grænser, der blev fastlagt efter 1. verdenskrig. Og Hitler står ikke alene.
