Helm
Author(s): Hans Günter Michelsen
Five former German soldiers are invited to go hunting by another veteran, who was unjustly sent on a suicide mission which he survived but which left him horribly injured. As each one gets separated from the group, a shot his heard and that person does not return. The audience never learns whether they are killed or if the shooter is Helm. As the veterans discuss their relationship with Helm some are defensive, some guilt ridden, and some take no responsibility.
