Autumn, 1918: Somewhere on Germany’s western front, Ernst Thälmann, age twenty-four, is calling on his fellow soldiers to put down their guns and join him in the communist struggle at home.

Until his murder on August 18, 1944, Ernst remained true to his political convictions in the face of many setbacks.
