Description

An historical account of the view of deserters during World War II. Surprisingly, deserters weren't looked on as cowards by their comrades, but rather as a normal part of wartime behavior. A soldier could fight bravely, but in a year's time become exhausted and disillusioned, causing desertion. It discards the notion of a flawless military and the dignity of conflict. This story deals with ordinary men under pressure to accomplish enormous and paradoxical expectations imposed on them.
