Synopsis
Set in Bavaria, 1942. Hauptmann Peter Stalschmidt visits Castle von Hammer to recruit Hans back into the cockpit to save the collapsing Luftwaffe line against Russia. Hans, who actively despises Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime, reluctantly agrees solely out of an unbreakable tribal duty to protect his younger German compatriots. Flying a custom blood-red Messerschmitt Bf 109, he achieves immense lethal success on the Eastern Front, but his aircraft is shot down over Leningrad. Trapped on foot behind enemy lines, Hans walks back through the freezing Russian winter, witnessing the utter degradation of humanity, starvation, and battlefield atrocities.
