    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The title refers to the "Totenkopf" or Death's Head symbol used by the SS during World War II depicting a skull and crossbones. It is distinguished from similar traditions of the skull and crossbones and the Jolly Roger by the positioning of the bones directly behind the skull.
    • Goofs
      When Captain Lutze enters the first abandoned building inside Dachau, a portrait of Adolf Hitler still hangs on the wall after 17 years. Following World War II, everything Nazi related, especially likenesses of Hitler, were destroyed or hidden. Even today, decades later, Hitler images in Germany on display at historical sites and museums are oftentimes defaced by visitors.
    • Quotes
      • [closing narration]
      • Narrator: There is an answer to the doctor's question. All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buckenwalds, the Auschwitzes - all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worse of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers. Something to dwell on and to remember, not only in The Twilight Zone but wherever men walk God's Earth.
