A fifteen-year-old German boy stepped into an American military camp weighing just sixty-eight pounds—what doctors discovered next exposed a chapter of World War II rarely shown in textbooks. This documentary unravels the human story behind a “child soldier” shaped by the collapsing Third Reich, the brutal final months in Berlin, and the stark contrast he encountered inside a U.S. prisoner-of-war camp.
Through archival accounts, reconstructed moments, and expert historical analysis, we explore how a teenager—conscripted, starving, and terrified—became an unexpected witness to the ethics, contradictions, and moral complexity of wartime captivity. Though rooted in the darkest years of modern history, this film illuminates themes found across eras: the exploitation of youth, the consequences of ideological collapse, and the fragile humanity preserved even in conflict.
Join us as we examine the hidden truths behind one life caught between nations, armies, and survival.
