Plot summary

Berlin, June 1940. Otto and Anna Quangel receive word that their only son has been killed at the front. The working-class couple had believed in Hitler and followed him willingly; now they see his promises as deceit. They begin writing postcards that call on Germans to stop the war machine and bring down the regime, and they leave the cards in stairwells and building entrances, which is a capital crime. Otto wants to carry the risk alone and warns Anna that women are hanged too. She insists on taking part. Inspector Escherich is given the task of finding the writer.
