Numerous characters and scenes Scenes from German Life Time:1933-1938 Brecht presents the vivid and changing scene of Hitler’s war machine.

There is an assaulted Jew who did no wrong and a judge who has a tragic inclination to be just. There are a mother and father who have good cause to fear that their son has informed on them. The war machine moves across Europe, bringing ruin and misery everywhere.
