The movie is a story of American pilots, Nazi officers, and Hungarian horsemen in World War II. American airmen crash-land their plane on the Hungarian Puszta (at the 2:15 point). Both a Hungarian boy and a Nazi officer see the crash and head to the site.
The Hungarians arrive first and rescue the pilots, taking them to their village. The Nazis arrive at the crash site and deduce that the pilots are with the Hungarians, and storm the village (10:58).
The Hungarians hide Brady and the Kuvasz. At the 12:04 point, for some reason, the Nazi orders the dogs be set loose (the Kuv are hidden from view but of course they bark). The Hungarian man says that it's "too dangerous--they're Kuvasz." At 13:06, the Nazi shoots the dogs. Then, Brady starts a horse stampede around the Nazis to distract them from their search for the American airmen. At 13:25, the Hungarian man goes to see and mourn his dead Kuvasz.
The Kuvasz appear only briefly at the beginning of the movie, but we also get to see the environment that the Kuvasz developed in over hundreds of years.
The movie is grim, as the entire plot is about evading the relentless Nazis. If you don't want to look at more Nazis, you can stop the movie right after the Kuvasz appear. Although the horses are fine and you may want to watch them throughout the rest of the movie.

- Look for the CC icon, or Subtitles and Closed Captioning icon; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but it's better than nothing.
