This propaganda piece starts in 1933. Prof. Nichols American school in Berlin is next door to a school for the Hitler Youth. Karl, from the latter, is attracted to German-American Anna, but events lead to their separation. Six years later, near the outbreak of war in Europe, Anna is removed from Nichols school on presumption of German citizenship. Nichols becomes obsessed with finding her, as Anna undergoes a rather lurid odyssey through the Nazi nightmare.
Its 1938 Germany during the Nazi uprising, the Nazis who believe that the youth of Germany are the key to the survival of Nazi ideals, German youth who are taught to die in service to the Führer. After not having seen each other in years, Germany born American Anna Müller and American born German Karl Bruner are reacquainted as Karl, a junior Gestapo officer, is carrying out his duties in the new Nazi "law" that all German born persons in Germany, regardless of non-German citizenship/passport like Anna, a teacher at the American Colony School, are citizens of Germany, and are thus forcibly co-opted into service to the Führer. Anna and Karl met in 1933 when they were both students at neighboring schools - Anna at the American valued American Colony School and Karl at a Nazi military school - they who became friends despite their differences in political views. They were on their way to becoming romantically involved with each other if it was not for the circumstances. Both Karl and Anna have to decide what to do balancing their feelings for each other versus their political views, not following the Nazi directive which could result in dire consequences, even death if the actions are considered treasonous. What they end up doing may differ between in public for the Nazis to see, versus in private, where they may feel more comfortable to express what is truly in their hearts and minds. Through it all, Annas boss at the American Colony School, Professor Nichols - affectionately referred to as Nicky by his friends, colleagues and students - does whatever he can to get Anna out of the country back to safety in the States.
