About the courage to refuse the war and to desert, the power of staying true to oneself and a vision that has changed the Federal Republic of Germany. 30 000 deserters were sentenced to death during World War II. One of them is Ludwig Baumann. He survives death row, concentration camp and Eastern Front. But after the war the punishment of Nazi military justice remains valid in german democracy. He starts to fight: all sentences of the Nazi military justice especially the death sentences against the deserters have to be repealed. At least he succeeded: in 2002, almost 60 years after the end of the war, the death sentences of the Nazi military justice against them are lifted. A tribute to humanity and against war.
