Als der britische Farmer die deutsche Miete belächelte – der Frost bewies, wer recht hatte

Norfolk, 1946: Wilhelm Brandt, a German prisoner of war and son of a sugar beet farmer from Schöppenstedt near Braunschweig, is assigned to harvest beets on the farm of English farmer George Whitlock, near the Cantley sugar factory. When Whitlock builds the beet clamps in the English style—too thinly insulated for the approaching hard frost—Wilhelm immediately recognizes the danger, for it is precisely the technique his father once taught him. But no one listens to him until a sudden frost destroys almost the entire harvest, leaving only one clamp intact: the one Wilhelm had secretly reinforced in the evenings. ...
