Blurb: 
In 1944, German Sergeant Hans von Kleinschrodt is sentenced to ten years of hard labor for war crimes committed in the village of Nogent-Plage. By 1964, he becomes the captain and goalie of the championship German soccer team which must face the French champions in the city where Hans had been sentenced. Even though he swears he defied orders to slaughter the villagers, he is hated by the people of France. The soccer game not only becomes a grudge match, it also brings Hans face to face with the young man whom he had taught to play the game many years ago--a young man whose father Hans had ordered killed.
