conversations.value: The Seventh Cross: The story of Das siebte Kreuz is rather simple: there are seven men who have been imprisoned in the fictitious Westhofen camp, who have decided to make a collaborative escape attempt.\nThe main character is a Communist, George Heisler; the narrative follows his path across the countryside, taking refuge with those few who are willing to risk a visit from the Gestapo, while the rest of the escapees are gradually overtaken by their hunters.\nThe title of the book comes from a conceit of the prison camp.\nThe current officer in charge has ordered the creation of these seven crosses from the trees nearby, to be used when the prisoners are returned - not for crucifixion, but a subtler torture: the escapees are made to stand all day in front of their crosses, and will be punished if they falter.

conversations.value: The Seventh Cross (film): The year is 1936.\nSeven prisoners escape from the fictitious Westhofen concentration camp near Worms, Germany near the Rhine.\nThey represent a cross-section of German society: a writer, a circus performer, a schoolmaster, a farmer, a Jewish grocery clerk, and two prisoners who are apparently political activists.\nOne is George Heisler (Spencer Tracy) and the other his mentor Wallau (Ray Collins), the leader of the group.\nThe camp commandant erects a row of seven crosses and vows to "put a man on each".\nThe first to be apprehended is Wallau, who dies without giving up any information yet continues to narrate the film.\nThe film follows Heisler as he makes his way across the German countryside (Rhenish Hesse), steals a jacket to cover his prison garb, and watches out, as the Nazis round up every other escaped prisoner and puts them up on the crosses, and the local population remains largely indifferent.\nDespite the common brutality of some of his countrymen, Heisler does receive help.\nStill, he is somewhat soured on the German people and humanity in general.\nHe first makes his way to his home city of Mainz where his former girl friend, Leni (Kaaren Verne), who had promised to wait for him, but has since married, refuses to help him in the slightest way, and threatens to "report" him; he steals a bit of her food and departs.\nHe next witnesses the suicide leap of the cornered circus performer and then goes on to see a contact whose name he had given him, where he encounters Mme.\nMarelli (Agnes Moorehead) who gives him the outfit she was holding for the performer and slips some money into his coat pocket.\nNext he goes to a Jewish doctor a few doors away who had been suggested by Mme.\nMarelli, who treats a hand injured during his escape which had become infected.\nIntercut with Heisler\'s escape odyssey are some scenes involving some of his friends who are trying to locate and help him.\nWhen he finally reaches the home of his prearranged contact he finds that the contact has been arrested.\nHe cannot visit his family, because they are being watched, so he goes to his old friend, Paul Roeder (Hume Cronyn).\nThough Paul is a factory worker with a wife, Liesl (Jessica Tandy), and young children, he still risks all to help Heisler.\nRoeder gets in touch with the German underground, whose members risk their lives to get Heisler out of the country.\nThrough his exposure to this courage and kindness, and with the help toward the end of a sympathetic waitress (Signe Hasso) in an inn where he\'s hiding out and with whom he has a brief tryst and promises to send for later, Heisler regains his faith in humanity.\nThanks to their help, the film ends as he approaches a cargo ship that is to take him away, "perhaps to Holland", with a shot of the empty seventh cross.
