At the beginning of World War II, Berlin art student Walter Stamm is unexpectedly convicted of high treason in the Third Reich. He then embarks on a journey through survival when he is imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. On the verge of exhaustion, he is commuted to death and joins a disciplinary battalion in the campaign against Russia, in which he lives the bloodiest battle in history, the Battle of Stalingrad. The Battle of Walter Stamm recreates the horror that came to humanity in the twentieth century, in which anyone could become a victim and, at the same time, a murderer.
