Six Minutes to Midnight tells the story of Augusta Victoria College, a large Victorian villa in Dorset Road, which once housed a Nazi finishing school where up to two dozen daughters of the Nazi regime were sent to improve their English.

Students included the daughter of Adolf Hitler’s Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop.

The Augusta Victoria School operated in Dorset Road and taught German girls throughout the 1930s and only closed at the outbreak of World War Two.

I can't abide Izzard.  He started off being very clever and very  funny, he then become  a bit odd, but still entertaining and funny, now he is just a left wing joke, and not in a good way. Just a weird man/woman/thing.

Agree about Izzard.  Maybe he put the money forward to be in the film. Just saying

Eddie Izzard was in the 2009 Mini Series of The Day of the Triffids.

Day of the Triffids is one of my favorite si-fi movies and I must have seen just about every version there is, but that 2009 version was just about the worst ????
