July 1942. A seventeen-year-old boy with dreams of flying arrives at Chemnitz barracks, his half-French, half-German heritage as divided as the continent itself. Though his hopes of joining the Luftwaffe are quickly dashed, his spirits remain buoyant. There's something almost innocent about those early days-marching through autumn forests, singing with an "atrocious French accent," sunbathing on slate roofs of a fairy-tale Polish castle during training. How could anyone know what waited across the horizon? The Eastern Front beckons with its siren call, and like countless young men before him, he answers without understanding the price. The journey to Russia becomes the first confrontation with war's stark reality. In Kharkov, twisted metal shrouds peek through snow, marking fallen soldiers. News of Stalingrad's collapse creates fissures among the men-veterans grow defeatist while the young burn with determination. When ordered to resupply positions along the Don River, true combat arrives like a thunderbolt. Pneumonia, frostbite, and gangrene claim comrades daily. Some wander off in despair, never to return. Others, crying for mothers through the night, end their suffering with a bullet. How quickly the human spirit can be crushed when facing the impossible.
