"After spending many years trying to convince my father to document his experiences as a German child soldier in World War II, he finally recorded his memoirs on sixteen cassette tapes after he retired.

I felt compelled to write and publish my late father’s story because of its relevance to current events. The 
book is written from the sixteen tapes narrated by my father in German, and from conversations I had with him over the span of several years."
