JUNGVOLK; The Story of a Boy Defending Hitler's Reich

by Wilhelm R. Gehlen & Don A. Gregory

ISBN 978-1-932033-87-8


This is a really well told first person account of WWII through the eyes of a child growing up during the war. The everyday situations and even the accounts of what would seem to be the mundane give a terrific view into the real world of life in a small German town during these times. I enjoyed every minute of this really good book. Highly recommended to any student of history.
