"My mother never stood by me and my situation", says the former soccer player for the Austrian national team, Helmut Köglberger. As the son of an American soldier and an Austrian woman he is a so-called "War Child". Not few of those children were born in post-war Austria, but the hidden figure is high. Many were not told their true identity, they were sent away and their true origin concealed. Helmut Köglberger does not even know his father's first name. He was deployed from Austria, before his son was born. 

Sooner or later, however, many of these children develop a desire to get to know their roots and often jump at the opportunity to find a trace of their fathers. And sometimes there is a true happy end for "War Children": Reinhard Heninger from Lower Austria is the son of a Russian soldier and was reunited with his "second family" after sixty years.
