I posted a review on the 1950 Breakthrough movie page as I didn't see it right away on the page with movies having Breakthrough in the title. It makes sense now that this was a rather low budget European production. It's not a bad movie but not a great one either. With Mitchum and Burton, I'm surprised it was this obscure. Anyway, without rehashing a plot synopsis all over again, it centers around the impending defeat of the Nazi's around the time of D-Day. It's basically a subplot concerning an effort by some of Hitler's generals trying to bump him off and negotiate a cease-fire with advancing Allied and Soviet forces before Germany is completely defeated and occupied. Not a stirring epic by any means, but no worse than a lot of John Wayne's stuff either.
