Warsaw, 1942. A Polish prostitute is brutally murdered, and Major Grau (Omar Sharif) of the Abwehr is determined to find the culprit. He becomes even more intrigued when a witness identifies the culprit as a German General. Grau fingers three generals - the sadistic General Tanz (Peter O'Toole), the womanizing Von Seidlitz-Gabler (Charles Gray) and the shifty Kahlenberg (Donald Sutherland) - as possible culprits, but gets reassigned to Paris before his investigation gets properly underway.

Two years later, all three generals - and Grau - are in occupied Paris on the eve of the July 20th plot to kill Hitler, when another murder occurs. Evidence points towards Tanz's aide Corporal Hartmann (Tom Courtenay), but Grau realizes Tanz is responsible for the murder, and tries to arrest him amidst the chaos of the coup. But Tanz kills him and charges him with treason as being a traitor who was part of the assassination plot.

The story picks up again in 1965, in Hamburg, where a prostitute is brutally murdered like the ones in Warsaw and Paris on the day that Tanz turns up in Hamburg to be honored by a neo-Nazi group after serving a twenty year sentence as a war criminal.
