Story

During WWII, approximately 70,000 Estonian men volunteered or were conscripted by German forces in the Estonian Legion (Eesti Leegion), which was formed in 1942 under the Waffen-SS

The story follows Estonian volunteer fighting for the German SS and his perilous journey as he attempts to reach American lines to avoid Soviet captivity, facing impossible choices between surrendering to the Soviets (and likely execution or Siberian camps) or continuing a hopeless fight westward.
