German Boy: A Child in War

Front Cover
ISIS Publishing, 2003 - Biography & Autobiography - 592 pages
As the Third Reich crumbled in 1945, scores of Germans scrambled to flee the advancing Russian troops. Among them was a little boy named Wolfgang Samuel who, after a desperate attempt to escape with his mother and sister, was eventually taken into a disease-ridden refugee camp. This is the true story of their fight for survival as the tables of power turned and, for reasons Wolfgang was too young to understand, his family suffered arbitrary arrest, rape, hunger and constant fear. The book ends as the Samuels begin life anew in America, where Wolfgang will eventually embark on a career in the U.S. Air Force.
