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 the veterans discuss their relationship with Helm some are defensive, some guilt ridden, and some take no responsibility.
