Fallada, Hans

With nothing but their grief and each other against the awesome power of the Third Reich, Otto and Anna Quangel launch a simple, clandestine resistance campaign that soon has an enraged Gestapo on their trail, and a world of terrified neighbors and cynical snitches ready to turn them in.

Based on the true story of Elise and Otto Hampel, a working-class couple who defied the Third Reich, tells a story of Otto and Anna Quangel who launch a personal resistance campaign against the Gestapo after their only son is killed at the front.
