Henke's life story is an example of how history leaves its mark on the life of an individual. Born in Toruń, as a result of border changes after World War I, he leaves his hometown and settles in western Germany. Struggling to find work in the merchant navy, he joins the Reichsmarine. On the one hand, he becomes a man serving in one of Churchill's most dangerous formations defending Hitler - the U-Bootwaffe. On the other hand, he comes into conflict with the Gestapo. He sinks Allied ships, but this does not prevent him from listening to forbidden American music, which he loves. As a result of American propaganda, he is proclaimed criminal No. 1, even though he never was. This fact will be decisive in his suicide. This book is not only a biography, but also a profound analysis of the moral dilemmas of a man in times of war.
