Comments From Other Readers “My Grandfather served in World War II. To his dying day he had a general mistrust of Germans. I wonder if he had read this book if his opinion would have shifted for at least one of the men outlined here. I won’t tell you which one but I didn’t really expect it. I love how the focus was on more than just war and on the men‘s lives and experiences. The compassion of one shocked me just as much as the cruelty of another. Truly a great read!” – Perry (Maine, USA) “There’s always more than one side to any story. I read once that there’s actually three sides, his side, her side, and the truth. Adapting it a little and it could be applied to this book. The truth is sometimes not exactly what we would expect it to be. This well written volume is short but chock full of valuable information as well as an all around good story. Truth is sometimes the best story of them all. I will be adding this to my son’s summer reading as he’s going to study WWII in his upcoming school year. It’s important to know every side of history and this book endeavors to tell it.” – Susan (Toronto, Canada) Tags: Nazi, Germany, soldier, boxer, boxing, Himmler, Hitler, Max Schmeling, paratrooper, Joe Lewis, Battle of the Bulge, WWII, Stalingrad, Ernst Panse, Panzer Division, Germany, Nazi, war crimes, Poland front, World War 2, World War 2, Adolf Hitler, Soldier Story, war, war stories, bravery, military, D-Day, Pearl Harbor, Stalingrad, Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand, Wild Bill Donovan, Douglas Waller, The Monuments Men, Allied Heroes, A Higher Call, The Dead and Those About to Die,The Guns at Last Light, The Longest Day, An Army at Dawn, Killing Patton, A spy at the heart of the Third Reich, A Higher Call, Forgotten 500
