The Fifth day of Peace, Italian title: Gott mit uns (written in German), is an Italo-Yugoslavian war film from 1970 about the 13 May 1945 German deserter execution in a Canadian-run POW camp in Amsterdam.
Their fellow German prisoners of war, led by Von Bleicher, discover that they are deserters.
They are put through a formal military court martial organised by Von Bleicher and charged with cowardice.
A Canadian general, Snow, persuades (but does not order) the Canadian camp commandant, Captain Miller, to allow the execution to be carried out for the higher purpose of preserving military discipline.
This movie is based on the true story of two Kriegsmarine sailors, leading seaman Bruno Dorfer and machinist's mate Rainer Beck, both executed for desertion on 13 May 1945, after being found guilty of cowardice by fellow POWs.
