Leslie Malton and Felix von Manteuffel Read "I Would Rather Be Silent"

From March 1945 to September 1946, Will Quadflieg documents his experiences: the advance of the Red Army, bombing nights, fear and despair - and his unwavering determination to continue performing in the theatre and provide for his family, who had fled to Sweden.

Decades later, his daughter Roswitha reconstructs those 104 days from diary entries and letters, engaging in an imagined dialogue with her father. Leslie Malton and Felix von Manteuffel read this text about war, guilt, language and self-deception - without accusation, without embellishment.
