On 23 December 1944, at Comrie Camp in Scotland, Wolfgang Rosterg was beaten to death by his comrades for the crime of disloyalty to the Fuhrer. In January, a new interpreter arrived at Comrie - Herbert Sulzbach, a Jewish refugee with an Iron Cross.The last battle of the war, the battle for hearts and minds, was about to begin. This documentary tells the story of Comrie Camp and its part in the greatest social experiment of the century - to attempt to change the ideology of a nation.
