It tells how Gerhard Domagk, a young German physician during WW I, saw the deaths of thousands of wounded soldiers from gas gangrene and other infections that invaded what would have otherwise been non-fatal wounds.
Hager had never heard of Domagk and was surprised to learn that he had won a Nobel Prize in 1939, and was arrested by the Gestapo when he tried to claim the prize.
Research Domagk saw hundreds of his fellow German soldiers die of infected wounds during the first world war, and worked for a solution for years before achieving a breakthrough which would lead his government to punish him.
