Heroes Without Honour

1. Poland.

Brothers Max and Kurt Eckhardt both find themselves on the front lines as Germany invades Poland.

They don't realise that this pursuit of lebensraum will shatter the fragile peace in Europe and lead to years of bitter battles.

Max, the elder brother, is a highly disciplined SS officer, entirely dedicated to Hitler’s vision for Germany.

His lonely upbringing in Berlin with his stern father, indignant at Europe’s treatment of Germany after the First World War, has left Max eager to avenge his father and his Fatherland. It has been drummed into him that he must obey orders at all cost and that Germany’s enemies must be dealt with by whatever means necessary...

Kurt, brought up with love and affection on his aunt’s farm, just wants the war to be over so that he can get back to his fiancée and his farm.

Unlike Max, Kurt feels nothing but revulsion for the carnage and suffering of war.

Confused and wearied by his life as a tank commander, Kurt becomes increasingly disillusioned with his part in the Third Reich’s progress.

Thrown together by war after many years apart, the brothers’ clashing personalities lead them down different paths, as Europe is drawn into a bloody and merciless conflict...

'Heroes Without Honour' is a gripping story of the devestating impact of total war.
