Description

The Kommandant’s Last Battle

When the Kommandant, Dr. Kurt Schmidt commandeers the French woman, Sophie Von Beaulieu’s home in 1942, he is decidedly in control. Sophie has no intention of being under anyone’s control, especially a Nazi officer. Sophie, a highly intelligent woman, soon realizes a personal war has begun. The Kommandant, beset by his own inner struggles, eventually finds himself fighting his last battle, a psychological, emotional and moral one. Kurt does have courage in his arsenal, which is put to good use after Sophie’s compassion breaks the oppression and bleakness of his heart. Perhaps a dream of peace is possible. Things are not always as they appear.
