Each character witness provides a flashback scene to a previous part of Grimms life.In the trial, it is revealed that Grimm Alexander Knox, who fought for Germany in the First World War and lost a leg in battle, returns after the war to the small German village of Litzbark now in newly independent Poland where he had been a teacher. Despite the recent hostilities, he is welcomed back into the community and resumes his teaching. He also resumes his relationship with Marja Pacierkowski, a local Polish girl to whom he had become engaged before the war. ........
