General Candy, who\'s overseeing an English squad in 1943, is a veteran leader who doesn\'t have the respect of the men he\'s training and is considered out-of-touch with what\'s needed to win the war. But it wasn\'t always this way. Flashing back to his early career in the Boer War and World War I, we see a dashing young officer whose life has been shaped by three different women, and by a lasting friendship with a German soldier.
