As the Nazi war machine caused death and destruction
throughout Europe, one man in the Fatherland began his own
reign of terror. This is the true story of the pursuit and capture of a
serial killer in the heart of the Third Reich. For all appearances, Paul Ogorzow was a model German. An
employed family man, party member, and sergeant in the
infamous Brownshirts, he had worked his way up in the Berlin
railroad from a manual laborer laying track to assistant
signalman. But he also had a secret need to harass and
frighten women. Then he was given a gift from the Nazi high
command. Due to Allied bombing raids, a total blackout was instituted
throughout Berlin, including on the commuter trains-trains
often used by women riding home alone from the factories. Under cover of darkness and with a helpless flock of victims
to choose from, Ogorzow's depredations grew more and more
horrific. He escalated from simply frightening women to
physically attacking them, eventually raping and murdering
them. Beginning in September 1940, he started casually
tossing their bodies off the moving train. Though the Nazi
party tried to censor news of the attacks, the women of
Berlin soon lived in a state of constant fear. It was up to Wilhelm Lüdtke, head of the Berlin police's
serious crimes division, to hunt down the madman in their
midst. For the first time, the gripping full story of
Ogorzow's killing spree and Lüdtke's relentless pursuit is
told in dramatic detail.
