On 27 October 1942 17 year old Helmut Hübener is awaiting his execution for distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets to the citizens of Hamburg. Based on a true story, Hübener, a member of the Hilter Youth and the stepson of a highly respected Nazi, relives the events that drove him, and his friends, Karl-Heinz Schnibbe and Rudi Wobbe, to defy the Nazi regime. Bartoletti’s fast-paced, action-packed narrative is woven together by official records and interviews with Helmüt’s surviving friends.
