The tide for the German Army turned between November 1942 and March 1943. The American landing in North Africa and the German defeat at Stalingrad undermined the belief in the invincibility of the Nazis. The atmosphere of those days is sketched in interviews with eyewitnesses from eight European countries (e.g. a philosopher, journalist, author, psychologist), in excerpts from diaries (the 14 year old Shoah victim Ruth Laskier, the journalist Ursula von Kardorff from Berlin), letters (Resistance hero Sophie Scholl), notes (Swiss consul von Weiss) and archive materials, mostly from (uncensored) amateurs.
