Codename Schlier is a documentary, is a report of people who were forced, in the years 1943 - 1945, by the brutality of the war and of the nazi regime, to live, work and die either as concentration camp slaves or as forced laborers for a practically unknown V-2 military plant in Austria.

At the same time we see a documentation of people of today who, forty years later, are suddenly confronted, through the persistent research of the film authors, with their past. A past which they had either kept secret on purpose or which they had simply forgotten about.
An "insignificant" bunker is accidentally discovered in Zipf/Upper Austria. The protagonists first investigate out of mere curiosity, but slowly memories and documents become more coherent and develop into a network.
A hitherto unknown chronicle of the former outpost of the concentration camp at Mauthausen and of the V-2 testing station SCHLIER is the historically significant result of this documentary.
