Fighters for the Western and Eastern Front

BOJOVNÍCI ZE ZÁPADNÍ A VÝCHODNÍ FRONTY:
Ve jmenovaném dokumentárním filmu, díl druhý, se budeme zaobírat myšlenkou: Že ne vždy, když nasazuješ vlastní krk, za svoji vlast, se k tobě tvoje vlast zachová jako k hrdinovi. V mnoha případech, na které poukážeme tomu je právě naopak. Popravy, doživotní tresty a dlouhé žaláře jsou toho svědky v padesátých letech minulého století. Může to znít až neuvěřitelně, ale za komunistického režimu daleko víc trestů padlo pro bojovníky z Východní fronty, fakta jsou neúprosná. Obě fronty si nesly hluboké šrámy a strašlivé osudy lidí, které byly v režii StB, vojenského zpravodajství a nespravedlivých soudů vyneseny pro vojáky a důstojníky po druhé světové válce v bývalém Československu.
