Gott mit uns ("God with us") is a phrase commonly used in heraldry in Prussia and later by the German military from the period spanning the German Empire to the end of the Third Reich. The action of this movie happens few days before the end of World War II, in a German prison camp, when two alleged deserters are tried by their officers and sentenced to die.

Too bad that this movie should be forgotten today. Only Morricone 's haunting wistful melody LONTANO (Too far) is known around the world and is included in almost all his compilations. It is not used very often though, the director preferring the musician's martial compositions.
