HENDRICH MUELLER has enjoyed all the privileges that wealth and position can give to a young man. When his father takes a diplomatic post in England, Hendrich is placed in a school there. He becomes friends with STEPHEN CASPLINGER, the son of a prominent English family. They spend their summers together, traveling to France and Germany. Stephen even dreams of marrying Rick’s cousin, pretty Anna. But at the outbreak of World War II, Hendrich becomes a pilot in the Luftwaffe, while Stephen flies for the R.A.F. The two friends must now work for forces bent on destroying each other. When Hendrich is shot down over England, he is placed in a POW camp that holds bittersweet memories of his life before the war. Stephen soon discovers his old friend in the prison camp and the real reason for his friend’s imprisonment. Hendrich’s secret changes their lives forever.
