In August 1942, fighter pilot Heinrich Einsiedel made an emergency landing on a Messerschmitt shot down in a battle over Stalingrad and was immediately captured by Soviet pilots. From that moment on, a different life began for him, in which he had to decide on whose side to fight. And before, Einsiedel wondered where the war with the USSR would lead their country, but now he had no doubt that Germany was on the verge of collapse. The result of these thoughts was his active anti-fascist activity and participation in the creation of the Free Germany committee. Count von Einsiedel was convinced that only immediate peace without Hitler could save his homeland from complete destruction. The book is supplied with maps.
