Summary

In the ruins of Hitler’s Berlin, Trude awaits the Soviet troops to see what form their liberation of the city will take. The need to survive leads her to a Russian major who becomes her protector. She is shocked to find in him an unlikely soulmate — both loathe their countries’ leadership, both are horrified by the actions of their countrymen, and both look for the hope of civilization in the heart of chaos.
