In the 1800s, under promises of free land, freedom of religion, and exemption from taxes and military service, many German families emigrated to Russia. Red Coats and Scimitars is the true story of Karl Schwartz, a German boy growing up in the Ukraine, who was forced into the Russian army and who ultimately became part of the royal guard to the czar.
