We begin to realise there are tens of thousands of stories, of which we can glimpse a only few, as the lives of the characters of those stories temporarily coincide with the lives of the Ashtons.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Two Fathers is the only episode that crosses enemy lines, when we see for the first and only time the effect the war has had on German society. Edwin and the Ashtons have been devastated by the war, but the impact on Hellmut’s family is even greater: all four sons have been lost and what remains of the family lives in a bombed out ruin, with a delinquent daughter and a sick mother for whom the father can’t obtain medicine. And around them, German society is barely functioning, with cigarettes being used for money and children running wild in the ruins.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The viewer is left with the realisation that, while we have been watching the story of the Ashtons, the untold story of the Reglers has been unfolding in a different part of Europe.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Nick Hallett</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On 7 Jan 2020, at 18:12, Veit, Richard via Afamilyatwar-list <afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
