Joining a Guerrilla Resistance Unit
Uwe Fuchs, a young man who has managed to stay away from the frontlines, considers himself lucky. He spends his days caring for his widowed mother, far from the chaos of battle. However, his fortune takes an unexpected turn when Hans Sauer, the village bully, recruits him to join a guerilla resistance unit.
