The story
An Englishwoman's love for a German lawyer is at the heart of one of the most extraordinary stories of the Second World War. Christabel Burton's aspiration of living in harmony with her husband Peter Bielenberg is shattered when Germany slips into the full horror of the Nazi regime and war is declared. Life for Christabel and Peter becomes a fight to survive, a struggle to hold on to human decency.
