The Fifth Day of Peace

The Fifth Day of Peace is a 1970 war drama film directed and co-written by Giuliano Montaldo, and starring Richard Johnson, Franco Nero, Helmuth Schneider, Michael Goodliffe and Bud Spencer. It dramatizes the May 1945 German deserter execution, in which two German prisoners-of-war in a Canadian-run camp were executed by their comrades for cowardice. The film was an international co-production between Italian and Yugoslavian companies, filmed at Jadran Studios in Zagreb.
