The Letter

Having survived the hell of Stalingrad and two years of bitter fighting on the Eastern Front, Sergeant Franz Mayer found he was now a deserter. Faced with the prospect of an SS firing squad, he knew his only hope lay in returning home. Reunited with his family, after witnessing the forced conscription of young boys, and by his conscience he return to the war. Before leaving, he writes a letter to the old couple who had helped, asking his wife to post it should he not return. A letter that will eventually unite the two families and give them the strength to face the hardships which lay ahead in their war-ravaged country.
