It was during World War II, in the territory of Germany.
The Germans decided to test the combat abilities of a few brand new anti-tank guns against a real moving Soviet T-34 tank.
So they took some prisoners (including a Soviet POW - T-34 driver) from the nearest concentration camp, said them to sit inside of a T-34 (without ammo but with a little fuel) and to move along the road.
But the Germans didn't suppose that the prisoners didn't want to be a moving target only...
It is based on real events.
I saw it many years ago and do not remember all the details of the movie.
