Det store nederlag i 1864 handler det om i Danmarkshistorie. Fra sejren i Fredericia til nederlaget i Dybbøl. Piet van Deurs taler med den nuværende forsvarschef om kollegaerne, de øverstbefalende dengang. Og med modstandsmanden, som fortæller om nederlagets traume, som har forfulgt os. Det var mere end strabadser man udsatte de danske jenser for på skanse 1 - 10 i Dybbøl. Hør om datidens militære udrustning og vilkårene for danske soldater i en håbløs kamp, hvor tabene var enorme.
