Description: Product InformationBorn into landed Prussian nobility, Werner H. Von Rosenstiel was a German lawyer and member of Hitler's army who embraced new loyalties. His memoir is a straightforward and evocative account of this young man's mixture of ambition, love, and anti-Nazi repugnance that convinced him to forego a promising professional career in the Third Reich for the uncertain future of another country and a new language on the eve of the Second World War.

His admiration for American democracy is clearly evident [as he] offers insights into the everyday experience of American soldiers. . . and humorous accounts of featherbedding, convoluted bureaucracy, and the snafus of army life. Certain sections of the book ar particularly evocative and poignant: the visits to a spa in Belgium and the tomb of Charlemagne in Aachen; the burial ceremony at the concentration camp of Woebbelin; thereunion with his famiyl; the shock at seeing the devastated cities of Hamburg and Nuremberg."-- Thomas L.
