Those five, too, haven't weathered the war without losses, and those who survived will never be the same again. Millions of people on all sides have died a meaningless death. Four Christmasses have since passed, without a reunion. Four years previously, the five friends had wanted to meet in Berlin at Christmas. Friedhelm, too, is sent towards the advancing Red Army with a contigent in the last days of the war. Wilhelm and his brother have been ordered to the eastern front, Charlotte will join.
#GENERATION WAR UNSERE MÜTTER UNSERE VÄTER SERIES#
The war is on its last legs, but still thousands are dying each day. Generation War: Series (aka Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter) Career-soldier Wilhelm, his pacifist younger brother Friedhelm, and their friends Charlotte, Viktor and Greta say farewell in the summer of 1941 in Berlin, with the promise to meet again after the war. He makes his difficult and dangerous way back to Berlin. Wilhelm uses the chaos of retreat and defects from his punitive battalion. He wants Greta to testify that he had helped her boyfriend Viktor to escape from Germany: Her life in exchange for her signature. Like so many others, he sees the end of the NS-regime approaching and tries to save his own neck. Any information you publish in a comment, profile, work, or Content that you post or import onto AO3 including in summaries, notes and tags, will be accessible. Greta is visited in prison by her former lover and protector Dorn. While Friedhelm's new unit in Poland is still cracking down brutally on the partisan group Viktor is a member of, Charlotte's field hopital is overrun by the Russians. The Red Army is now advancing on all fronts. But the war tears them asunder once more. Especially Charlotte is overwhelmed by her feelings, since she thought Wilhelm dead.
In Russia, Charlotte and Wilhelm meet again - a disturbing encounter for both.
Wilhelm's death sentence has been mitigated to a transfer into a punitive battalion.
