Synopsis: The nightmarish saga of a gentle giant, Abel, a French prisoner of war in East Prussia, who is forced by evil circumstances into the task of recruiting young boys to be trained in the Nazi army, with or without their consent. Ordered by the inner sanctum of German leaders, who had redeemed him from his former imprisonment, Abel sets out daily from Hermann Goering's hunting lodge, on horseback and accompanied by a pack of Dobermans, to kidnap youngsters from their homes.
