About this release
Al crepuscolo del Terzo Reich due fratelli si scontrano sulle loro rispettive ideologie. Peter segue le orme paterne e si arruola nella gioventù hitleriana. Karl è invece un membro della cellula antinazista nota come i pirati dell'Edelweiss. I due schieramenti si danno battaglia nella città sotto assedio di Colonia, dove le famiglie vivono nella costante morsa della paura dei rastrellamenti della Gestapo. Il gioco si fa veramente pericoloso quando i pirati liberano un prigioniero, l'esperto di bombe Hans, che li convince a prendere di mira il quartiere generale della Gestapo.

HistoryWarDrama
Cologne towards the end of the Second World War. The city is in ruins, everyone is afraid, many are dead. It is a time of great inhumanity. Cologne’s young Edelweiss Pirates refuse to submit to the pressure of the Nazi regime. They fight with the Hitler Youth and scrawl anti-war propaganda on walls. Karl is an Edelweiss Pirate; his younger brother, Peter, is in the Hitler Youth movement. The two young men have been alone ever since their mother’s death in a bombing raid; their father is serving at the front, and their older brother, Otto, has been killed in action. Otto’s financée, Cilly, is doing her best to survive the war with her children. Carl is trying to help her.
