"Walking with the Enemy was inspired by the true story of Pinchas Tibor Rosenbaum and is set in Budapest and nearby villages, and depicts the German occupation of Hungary during the final months of the Second World War. The story is about a young man, Elek Cohen (played by Jonas Armstrong) who steals an SS uniform to pose as an officer to find out the fate of his family and to rescue fellow Jews from the Holocaust."

A good idea for another WWII holocaust story. Unfortunately it suffers from low budget, direction, and poor writing. Does give some
insight to the various factions in play in the closing days of WWII. The Hungarian Arrow Cross Party was worse than the SS. While a disappointing production, it does give one a desire to find more of the period to read about.
