The war situation was worsening, and Nazi Germany had to recruit children, even those who had not been sentenced to imprisonment, as part of its military force in order to secure personnel. In a village, seven children are called up. Hans, Albert, Walter, Jurgen, Karl, Klaus, and Zigi were innocent boys who had no idea of the reality of war and longed to become soldiers. They are ordered to defend a bridge outside their village of little strategic importance. The boys are elated to pick up their guns to protect their country and their families, but the advance of the U.S. forces is about to start from that very bridge.... Commentary leaflet enclosed.
