Episode 19, May 04, 2021, 09:25 PM

So, why then did his country turn on him and treat him like a criminal? Convicting him, incarcerating him, interring him, and leaving him with a criminal record? Fred would spend a lifetime trying to defend the injustice bestowed against him, and the thousands of others in his position.
