Summary | "Berlin, 1941. Level-headed, highly decorated officer Wilhelm is off to the eastern front with his younger brother Friedhelm. Deeply in love with Wilhelm is Charlotte, a young nurse who looks forward to serving in the Wehrmacht, also on the eastern front. While Greta is a talented singer who longs to become another Marlene Dietrich, her Jewish boyfriend Viktor still cannot convince his parents to leave Germany. Friedhelm turns into a soulless killing machine. Wilhelm deserts his troops and is court-martialed. Charlotte's Nazi ideology crumbles when she betrays a Jewish nurse helping the German army. Greta obtains papers for Viktor's escape by selling herself to an SS colonel. They and millions of others wanted to be heroes; but none of them could imagine what the war would ultimately do to them and to the rest of the world"--www.imdb.com. |
