During the Second World War, millions of German youth between the ages of 16 and 25 were sent to the fronts – there was no choice. When these young people came back, they were most physically and / or mentally injured.

To call these people criminals at a dis- tance of decades and from the cozy liv- ing room or office room shows arrogance and lack of character, or at least a lack of empathy.

In a broader sense, this work is aimed at commemorating all male and female soldiers of all wars worldwide.
