The young cook Maria Sandmayer was killed in 1920 because she wanted to report an illegal arms depot. The masterminds belong to a local militia that is responsible for further murders in Munich – but high-ranking officials from the police and judiciary are covering them up.

Around noon on October 6, 1920, Johann Steiner and Ulrich Leonhardt, two young, unemployed boys, were hiking through the Forstenried forest on the country road from Starnberg to Munich. “Suddenly Leonhardt said to me: ‘Look in there, there’s someone in there,'” the 19-year-old Steiner told the police. “I looked in and noticed a female lying under young spruce trunks. The head of the corpse was tied to a spruce trunk. I saw that the person’s tongue was hanging out and her lips were already blue. A white piece of paper was tied above the head . The note said: ‘You shameful woman betrayed your fatherland, you were judged by the black hand’https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/.
