- December 1924, Karl Denke fails to smite Vincenz Olivier with a pickaxe. He would have been his 31st victim. The film thus reconstructs the mind, motivation, and psyche of its main character in intense dialog between him and the inspector.
- February/March 1945: While the Russians moved closer towards German home ground and towards Berlin forces were drawn to Klessin, a small village located not far from a strategic crossing over the river Oder. At the same time refugees from former German territories already in Russian control pass the area. Captain von Stock and his battle group come upon a trek of refugees and aide them find shelter and rest before they continue their journey to the West. The narration alternates between the military and political events of the time and the deeply personal relationship between Captain von Stock and a small girl who lost her mother fleeing from the approaching Red Army.

- Based on the true story of a Wehrmacht Soldier on the Eastern Front, director Heintje Peter draws Hellmut Böttger's (born in 1923) fatal moments during the last year of World War II. Böttger volunteered to enlist in the Wehrmacht in 1942. On his return from home leave in June 1944, he experiences the major Russian offensive, his injury in battle and the retreat. After the unconditional surrender on the 9th of May 1945, he and his unit fall into American captivity. He is sent to one of the Rheinwiesen camps with his friend Heinrich. The film tells the story of a simple soldier. It tells of battles and beliefs, but also of comradeship, friendship and respect.
