Overview

The year is 1938, and Hitler's devastating war machine is just beginning to swallow up surrounding nations. Max and Erich, two young pilots who become best of friends, share a passion for flying gliders. But Erich has a secret that he hesitates to share with anyone, even Max: He is a German Jew. When Erich and Max are assigned to a glider unit of the S.S. and take part in a dawn attack on Belgium, their dreams of becoming great pilots begin to come true. But their dreams unravel when Max becomes disenchanted with the war and Erich's true identity is revealed. Under pressure to betray his friend, Max must make a life-and-death decision that leads him on the most deadly assignment of his life. Amazingly, Fathers and Sons is based on a true story. This touching, tragic slice of history explores the deepest complexities behind human interactions and is every bit as exciting as it is provocative.
