Summary:

Two French flyers, shot down during World War I, arrive at Germany's most formidable prison fortress, where, instead of being brutalized as prisoners of war, they are treated with respect and charity by the German commander. An anti-war film that studies the disillusionment of prisoners and captors alike.
