The final blow comes when his good friend Salomon, a Jew, is thrust into a concentration camp. Standing in the ransacked chaos of Salomon's empty home, Helmuth decides he must do something. He turns to the only weapon he knows: the written word. Overnight, hand-typed fliers on deep red parchment appear on the streets of Hamburg. "Hitler is a Murderer! He is the guilty one!" Within days he recruits his two best friends. By cover of night, the three boys disperse fliers that rage against Hitler and the Nazi regime. For the boys, it is just the beginning. For the Gestapo, it is high treason. Agent Erich Müssener begins a relentless pursuit of those behind the treasonous fliers...
