Sinopse
Margaret é uma enfermeira na Inglaterra durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e casada com um agente secreto. As coisas ficam complicadas quando ela se apaixona por David, um piloto americano.
Embora a Batalha da Inglaterra tenha sido relativamente curta - 20 semanas - para os pilotos parecia não ter fim, a simples luta pela sobrevivência impelia os dois lados. A Batalha da Inglaterra não terminou simplesmente, cessou depois que o outono forçou Hitler a abandonar a operação Seelöwe (Leão Marinho), seu plano de invasão ao Reino Unido. Somente quando o inverno se aproximou, os ingleses se deram conta de que haviam sobrevivido à batalha. Com a queda da Noruega, Dinamarca e França, em junho de 1940, a Luftwaffe ganhou importantes bases aéreas para se lançar no maior combate aéreo da história. A vitória parecia possível partindo da costa francesa pelo Canal da Mancha. As forças aéreas alemãs tornaram-se invencíveis desde a conquista da Polônia e da França; além disso, tinham o avião Messerschmitt Bf 109E, um dos mais formidáveis caças do mundo, tinham ótimos pilotos, comandados por ases da I Guerra Mundial.

In the wake of World War II, most Germans have been raised with the mistaken belief that the Holocaust had been planned and executed by just a tiny minority of Nazis, namely, the Gestapo and the SS. The sad truth, however, is that Hitler's philosophy of ethnic cleansing, as the Fuhrer so brazenly espoused in his frightening manifesto, "Mein Kampf," had been enthusiastically embraced not only by the entire military but also by most of the civilian population. The long-suppressed proof of their widespread collaboration and participation was unveiled in The Wehrmacht Exhibition, a damning collection of photographs and film footage that toured Deutschland between 1999 and 2004. The show shook the country to its core because it forced folks to face up to the fact that it took much more than a madman and his henchmen to wipe out six million.
