GERMAN BOY(ISBN=9780767908245) 英文原版 azw3 极速 lit 地址 下载 rb pdf mobi

“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 ways–making 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.
