A Hamburger Hill igaz történetet dolgoz fel. A 101-es ejtőernyős osztag azt a feladatot kapja, hogy foglalja el a 937-es magaslatot. Tíz napig tart az öldöklő harc a Hamburger Hillnek csúfolt magaslat bevételéért - sok-sok fiatal életet követelve. Ez volt az egyik legvéresebb csata, amelyet az amerikai katonák vívtak Vietnamban.
19-year-old NVA soldier, Alex Karow, is sent to the West German-East German border in May 1974, shortly after Willy Brandt's resignation and during the World Cup. The army is dominated by brutal rituals, tolerated or used by the officers. Alex understands that the ideals of balance, democracy and human dignity are propaganda. The question of what happens when the other appears in the sights of the Kalashnikov occupies the soldiers day and night, interrupted almost exclusively by the games of the World Cup with the historic encounter between the GDR and the FRG. Alex draws strength from his love for Christine, a confident tractor driver who lives in the neighbouring village. Christine encourages him not to do what his father expects, but to follow his dream of becoming a photographer. But when her brother sends Alex's photo from the border fortifications to the West, everything gets out of control...
The army of the GDR, called NVA had not survived the reunification of Germany, it was completely absorbed by the Bundeswehr and scrapped subsequently. But what apparently went on so smoothly as a peaceful unification of hostile brothers quietly left deep scars in the East German landscape.
