When Adolf Hitler called for all German's sons to return to defend the Fatherland, Willi Marcks left his adopted home in Western Kansas and answered the call, joining the German Army in time for the invasion of France.

Throughout the question is asked, "What do you believe, what do you honor and what do you stand for?"
