Reinicke is under pressure. He comes across an old flame from France. A medical student called Chantal. The relationship soured as her father was a communist.
Ostracised by her own community. Chantal became a prostitute. Now she works in a brothel in Guernsey. One set in a hotel for the German soldiers.
To Reinicke's embarrassment. Major Von Bulow is the Prussian Officer who learns about Chantal and he enjoys rubbing Reinicke's nose in it.

This is a good character piece on Major Von Bulow. The landed gentry, an arrogant Juncker. He has no time for the lower classes like Reinicke and even Hitler.
He is frightened of communism and is also a proud soldier who has been fighting on the front line.
Von Bulow is challenged to a duel by Reinicke. When he misses his shot at Von Bulow. Reinicke is further embarrassed as Von Bulow does not even see him worthy to shoot him down like a mangy dog.
