"What luck to be born in this generation. Danger? The salt of life. Death? He is immune." Decades after the end of the Second World War, the dashing German pilot feels differently. His civilian life has been built on false heroism and his remorse is all-consuming. When he thinks he sees the English village he is meant to have destroyed, he returns to face his conscience. There he meets 13-year-old Warren, who has never known battle, but he thinks he can understand it from books and photos. He and his friends agree to help Herr Hartung find the village, and in doing so, they find their attitudes challenged - and become involved in the conclusion to a wartime encounter.
