Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Men Without Wings is a 1946 film from Czechoslovakia directed by František Čáp.It's a story about the Czech resistance to the Nazis during World War II, which ended just a year before the movie was released. The story opens on June 10, 1942, as engineer Petr Lom is escorting his nephew Jirka back to Jirka's home town of Lidice. Only they can't make it, because the whole area is blocked off by the Nazis—who are that day wiping Lidice off the map, in retribution for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. The Lidice massacre claims among its victims Jirka's mother (Petr's sister) and father. A shocked Jirka and Petr go back to his room in a boarding house.The boarding house is near a military airport that serves the Luftwaffe. The airport is run by a loathsome Sudeten German and Nazi, Ullmann, who is assisted by his lovely secretary Jana. Petr gets a job at the airport in the machine shop, but he is bent on revenge, and starts stealing weaponry to somehow use against the Germans. What Petr doesn't know is that the airport machine shop is already an active resistance cell, aided by Jana, who is spying on her employers and passing messages to and from La Résistance.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Distant Finale: As Petr dies over the end, superimposed over his face is a Time Passes Montage that initially shows the Germans torturing his friends at the machine shop, but moves on to scenes of resistance and uprising and ends with raising the flag of Czechoslovakia again at the end of the war. | |
