Letters From Berlin: A Story of War, Survival, and the Redeeming Power of Love and Friendship by Kerstin Lieff
Humankind in general can be sold anything, even a war, and the bewildered German populaces were no exception. The world war that the Nazis Thousand Year Reich axis powered governments spread world wide only lasted twelve years. The day of reckoning had arrived. This is a true story of the reality of war impacting so many unsuspecting victims. When will humanity ever learn the brutal consequences that are sold to them by forceful psychopathic leaders?
EXCERPTS:
I was beginning to figure some things out: Hitler was not our ally, and the war was no longer making sense. We had invaded Poland, and no one seemed to know why. No one was ecstatic the way they were when we “liberated” Czechoslovakia and the Rhineland. Things were beginning to feel wrong and frightening, and all I could think and wonder was, Won’t this war be over soon? And my close friends felt the same way. We began to listen to the BBC, but this was not an easy thing. It was illegal, and we knew that. It had been outlawed at the start of the war to listen to any foreign station; to do so and get caught could land you in a prison, a work camp, or worse yet—dead.
They broadcast in German, but it was the British news, and it didn’t sound anything like what we were hearing on our German propaganda stations.
The American soldier is of course a much more humane person than the Russian. Of the two evils, this would be the better one.
To tell the truth, the Nazis left us in such a disgrace. They always spoke so grandiosely of their new weapons and our eventual history-making turnaround. From the very beginning, we always said, if one has the audacity to start a war, one must know when the moment has come that one must give up and have the courage to surrender, and to know when one has been defeated.
