“FAREWELL WESTERN FRONT - HAIL YOUTH...AND LOVE!”
At the end of the Great War, German soldiers return home to find the social fabric and civil order disintegrating as communist gangs roam the streets, and food and jobs become scarce. Riots and massacres lead the erstwhile average men to become cynical and desperate.
