Part 4/8:
As days pass, the harshness escalates, compelling Teddy into matches with greater stakes. He finds a semblance of purpose through boxing, emerging victorious in bouts against fellow prisoners and German soldiers alike. His unparalleled skills and courage become a source of hope for the other inmates, reinforcing his role as a beacon of resistance against the oppressive environment.

In an agonizing twist, the camp sees the loss of innocent lives, including Yannick’s sobering experience with the execution of fellow prisoners.
