Naked Among Wolves is a 1963 East German drama movie directed by Frank Beyer and based on the novel of the same name by Bruno Apitz, which was published by Mitteldeutscher Verlag in 1958. January 1945: The front moves hourly closer to Buchenwald concentration camp, and the Waffen SS increases its daily "extermination quota". Several prisoners plan to rebel.
