Description

Peter Ertel was considered “like family” by his Jewish employers by the end of World War II, but he had a remarkable past as a German soldier for five years at the beginning of the war. In the first-person narrative documentary “The Unimaginable Journey Of Peter Ertel,” the man speaks of his experience in a hatred, destruction-driven time. The film features rare archival footage– previously unreleased– as the audience learns from this former agent for the U.S. State Department.
