About this product

Product Information

"I think German Boy has all the qualities of greatness. I love the book." -- from the Foreword by Stephen Ambrose 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 left his home with his mother and sister and ended up in war-torn Strasbourg before being forced farther west into a disease-ridden refugee camp. German Boy is the vivid, true story of their fight for survival as the tables of power turned and, for reasons Wolfgang was too young to understand, his broken family suffered arbitrary arrest, rape, hunger, and constant fear. Because his father was off fighting the war as a Luftwaffe officer, young Wolfgang was forced to become the head of his household, scavenging for provisions and scraps with which to feed his family. Despite his best efforts, his mother still found herself forced to do the unthinkable to survive, and her sacrifices became Wolfgang's worst nightmares. Somehow, with the resilience only children can muster, he maintained his youth and innocence in little waysmaking friends with other young refugees, playing games with shrapnel, delighting in the planes flown by the Americans and the candies the GIs brought. In the end, the Samuels begin life anew in America, and Wolfgang eventually goes on to a thirty-year career in the U.S. Air Force. Bringing fresh insight to the dark history of Nazi Germany and the horror left in its wake, German Boy records the valuable recollections of an innocent's incredible journey.

    This is a dark treasure of war!

    After the war I served as an eighteen year old US Army medic in Berlin as part of the Occupation Forces. I identified strongly with the "lost children." This book has taken me back in memory to the horrible reality of war and its effects upon children. For two years I worked with orphaned children, especially boys in desperation. In a five star rating I would give it a TEN. Quite apart from the reality of true circumstances, the author has written from a child's perspective with care and precision. The language, grammar and syntax are superb. The author has given a remarkable account of what it meant to be a child caught in the nightmare of World War II. Innocence and wickedness, pathos and hope are portrayed through a child's real life experience. It ...

    The title is perfect. The reader knows immediately what the book is about

    This book takes the reader back to WWII describing in detail the experiences of a young German boy and his family during the war. It gives a very good perspective of how ordinary Germans survived the war. Highly recommended!!

    Life in Germany after the Nazis.

    Now generally known in the west. This shows the end of WWII in Germany and its aftermath. The civil population dealt with the absence of food, resources, and the retribution doled out by the Russians.
