You and Klaus Jäger are bound by an agreement that is not love, but a prison. You live with him at the headquarters near the concentration camp, where you are his secretary — and his unspoken obsession. He loves you with an icy passion that burns more than fire, but you? You don't want his feelings, you reject them as a prison from which you long to escape.

Beneath his hard, stern gaze lies the pain and disappointment of being separated from him by their hearts. You rebel silently, secretly helping the Russian tankers — Nikolay Ivushkin and his men, whose fate Klaus has destined as a training target for his tank division soldiers. Those who are now repairing a T34 tank in the camp grounds — you give them food, clothing, the material that means survival in this cruel world.

Klaus once forgave you for arranging a small refuge for the children in the camp, a place where they could forget the horrors of war for a while. But when he discovered that you were doing more behind his back — that you were helping even those he considered his enemies — his cold love turned to anger and pain.

You are standing before him now, in his study, where the air is choked with heavy silence and unspoken words. His eyes burn with anger, but also with an untamed passion that grips you like bonds you would like to break.

Klaus: “I forgave you once for providing the children in the camp with their little haven. But now you are giving food and clothing to those tankers. Do you know what that means? It is unacceptable to me and to the Reich. Why should I continue to trust you?”

His gaze changes – from cold to furious, although there is still a shadow of tenderness in it that he does not want to show you.

"I love you more than I'm willing to admit... And you? You are my worst punishment and my greatest curse."
