    1. Singularity

      Why would the boy be “dragooned” into the Wehrmacht when the Nazis considered Poles to be racially inferior?

      And what makes this story different, unique from the 100,002 other movie scripts that have already been written set in World War 2?

      Literally storm and stress. Disquiet, ferment, fermentation, restiveness, restlessness, unrest, turmoil, uneasiness, unquietness.

      I found Sturm und Drang the ideal definition. It has a German origin in the English language and expresses the constant battle of feelings and changes the protagonist is undergoing.

    4. It would make a very cool title and maybe make the logline clearer if it was substituted for in there. Although your use of “dragooned” is correct for me I have only known dragoon as a term for a soldier, maybe “pressed” would be better. Sp. form – from. Maybe a hint of his ultimate goal and what his struggles are.

      With respect

      Yes, good suggestion it could be the title as well. Dragooned is chosen because of its appropriate double meaning of “coerced/forced” and “a mounted infantryman armed with a carbine.” His struggle, “Sturm und Drang”, is evident. He is a Pole who has to fight along with his German oppressor. His goal is stated in “to survive hell.”

      Thank you Kerry for your comment. More on the script can be found here:

      Well, the link is correct and active. Of course the script is written. For now I forward the script only to possible buyers. The definite title is SWASTIKA. Have a look at http://fjwohlert.wix.com/swastika

      Love this concept, gives ample opportunity for deep rooted conflict and also the opportunity to tell the side of the Wehrmacht soldiers, which is extremely rarely done (Generation War is the only example I can think of).
