Has it ever occurred to you, Johann; the fact that we're fighting on the wrong side?Austria, 1938On the verge of the most devastating war of all times, four young men found themselves sharing a room in a flying school dormitory. A bohemian Berliner, a Flieger-Hitlerjugend member, a prodigy pilot, and a butcher's son, with nothing in common but their love for the Luftwaffe and the freedom the sky has to offer. The bond they develop is put to the test by what might be a stronger adversary - war itself. Over the English Channel, in the dusty skies of Africa, on the brutal Eastern front, they will discover where their loyalty lies, and what true bravery means. It's Gro deutsches Reich, soldier. When one has a family at home, it doesn't leave him many chances for the revolt. As the war progresses, Willi and Johann grow more and more disillusioned with the regime they're protecting with their lives. An SS unit appearing on their base to claim one of their own; bits of conversation revealing the truth about the extermination program accidentally overheard during the official reception - the pieces of the puzzle are slowly coming together, but it's too late to do anything but fight to the bitter end, whatever it may bring. Set during one of the bloodiest wars in history, Of Knights and Dogfights is the story of the shattered illusions of youth, tyranny and freedom, friendship and love guiding one out of the darkest hell of Soviet captivity.
