Viktor is sent to Auschwitz, but he manages to escape by breaking the wooden floor of the railroad car he is in, alongside a Polish woman called Alina, and joins a group of Polish partisans. Friedhelm is sent back home, but seeing his father's disappointment with Wilhelm's apparent death, and lack of appreciation for Friedhelm's survival, Friedhelm cuts short his leave and returns to his unit.

He is taken to a field hospital where Charlotte discovers him and convinces the doctor to operate, saving his life.

There are three 90 minute parts: A Different Time ( Eine andere Zeit), A Different War ( Ein anderer Krieg), and A Different Country ( Ein anderes Land). However, aspects such as the portrayal of the Polish resistance movement as anti-semites, the scant depiction of Nazi Germany's objective to purge the Reich of Jews, and the blurring of differences between non-German victims and German perpetrators have been deplored by others. Critics have acknowledged the film to be well crafted, intense and unsparing in its depiction of combat on the eastern front.
