What a book! Wolfgang Samuel's GERMAN BOY is the true story of the efforts of his life from ages 10-15 in surviving in Germany from February 1945 until January 1950. Battling the Russians, starvation, disease nearly every step of the way, the narrative is more thrill packed than any fictional account I have any read about WWII and its aftermath. But, the account is also humbling to the nth degree. As if the War was not terrible enough with the lost of live, post-war Germany preyed upon women and children indiscriminately. Just a great read, one that I would highly recommend to anyone.
