The Power of Love in Times of War and Resistance

Hauke Friederichs vividly and compellingly depicts this pivotal year of the war, during which the rule of the National Socialists reaches its maximum extent and begins to collapse. At the center is the story of a friendship in the storm of time. The fact that the wounded Captain Fritz Hartnagel was evacuated from the cauldron of Stalingrad on one of the last planes was pure luck. The fact that student Sophie Scholl was seen distributing leaflets was the result of the great risk that she and the White Rose took as their despair over the Holocaust and the war grew. This is the dramatic tale of a love that had no chance.
