So let's say you were a German youngster in the late 30s/early 40s. One day, a Wehrmacht officer comes knocking on your door, telling you you're drafted into the army, report at your nearest Wehrmacht base tomorrow.
But instead of obeying the officer, you shout "**** Hitler!" in his face and go into hiding. In a nazi-infested country, reliable and courageous enough people are hard to find, but you're one of the lucky few and find a farmer miles out of town who lets you stay in exchange for some hard field labour. Meanwhile, you are labeled a traitor and your family gets arrested and put on the first train to Auschwitz. But hey, what does it all matter to you since you finally had the chance to defy Hitler
