The movie depicts the events from July until September of 1914 which led to the defeat of the German troops at the Marne.

A main focus is thereby placed by Haffner onto the controversial mission of lieutenant-colonel Richard Hentsch who is said to have, during a war patrol to the various army high commands, contributed to the abortion of the operations significantly.
