What the rescuers found at the camps was beyond comprehension, with many dead and others so malnourished that they were well on their way to being next. Until I read this book I did not know the story of the white buses and the determination of those who wanted to save others from the death camps.

It also details Bernadotte's harrowing expedition to Ravensbruck concentration camp and his extraordinary negotiations with Heinrich Himmler the Reichsfuhrer-SS who was in charge of the German concentration camps. Sponsored by the Swedish Government and led by key Count Bernadotte of Wisborg, the mission became known for its distinctive buses. Painted entirely white, these vehicles carried the Red Cross emblem and Swedish or Danish flags so that they would not be mistaken for military targets.Normally I try to avoid a 1-5 star if I can just see what the movie tried to achieve, but this one is too horrendous, I can't even find words what I was watching, I love High Fliers Films (formally known as Scanbox entertainment), specially The Resistance, 1941 Ambush, Tournament of Death, Sacrifice, and Virtual Reality.

Anyway this is a very odd film - full-on Kung-Fu bruce Lee style at times - Chinese versus the Nazi stormtroopers!

Each bus was purposefully painted entirely white except for the Red Cross emblem on the side so that they would not be mistaken for military targets. Of these, some 8,000 were Danes and Norwegians, around 6,000 were Poles and more than 2,000 were French citizens.The Swedish Red Cross expedition to the German concentration camps in the spring of 1945 was the largest rescue effort inside Germany during World War 2.
