A story about men and women who experienced the Second World War as soldiers of the Wehrmacht or as civilians in Nazi-Germany. Traumatised by the terror of war they became convinced pacifists. During the 50ties, they put up resistance against the building of a new army in West-Germany. But the former Nazi staff was in power again, persecuted all pacifists - among them even Holocaust survivors and former resistance fighters - and sent many of them to prison.
