Synopsis

In 1943, the German War Ministry gave a First Class Medal with a Red Ribbon to their most "active" breeding officers, which they hired through a letter in Berlin. Hans, followed by his pregnant wife, visits one of his dedicated targets who turns out to be only thirteen years old... This story is based on the real hiring letter which was found on a German Prisoner of War in 1944.
