An introspective German music student is drafted into Hitler's army and becomes a reluctant Platoon Leader. He miraculously survives both the Russian Front and the Normandy Invasion, and is recruited by his American captors to be a U.S. Government agent in postwar Germany. He eventually immigrates to the U.S., where he forges a 25-year career working for a small company owned by Orthodox Jews. A unique, first-person perspective of the war told with unprecedented candor, insight and raw emotion.
