The Philosopher
Robert Steigerwald became a fighter pilot in the Nazi airforce and was a loyal follower of the Nati system. But things changed for him, when his mother told him that his grandfather and the grandfather's family were german jews - they all were murdered during the Holocaust. After the war, he first joined the social-democrats and later the Communist party. Because he engaged himself against the rearmament of Western Germany, he was imprisoned for more than five years.
