Fire in the Night

Ülo and Olev consider the German occupation humiliating and the soldiers arrogant. Yet even among Estonians there are people who cannot be trusted — this can have fatal consequences. Witty schoolboys discover that Mr Velirand, who has moved into the apartment that once belonged to their teacher, is a henchman of Fascists. The boys resolve to warn people about the provocator, even though the rebellion is risky and their opponent superior, as it had been in the St George's Night Uprising in 1343.
