Three young men that once had an admiration for the Nazi regime had a strong change of heart after joining the German Wehrmacht in World War 2.

Authentic interviews combined with archival footage allows us to immerse ourselves in the stories of these men. We learn how they were originally enticed by the Nazi ideology, how their minds were changed, and how they look at the war today.
