How I Unleashed World War II, Part I: The Escape
On the night of August 31, 1939, Franciszek Dolas (Marian Kociniak), a soldier posted to a station on the German border, falls asleep in a train car and wakes up in Germany. He shoots a man he takes for a saboteur, and the invasion of Poland begins, which Dolas decides is his doing. Tadeusz Chmielewski sends him from a POW camp across Europe and plays every blunder dead straight.
