Book Reviews of Tales of an American Soldier
Book Review: "Heroes" before and after WW II
Summary: 1 Stars
It seems that the author was extremely successful during Hitler's reign. Only active members of the party or enthusiastic "fellow travelers," as they were called after WW.II. would have been sent abroad and given the advantages related in the book. Does the author or any of his readers realize how much harm was done to Germany and all of the world, one may say , by the opportunistic support given to Hitler by German intellectuals? The author was one of them. He certainly was not a member of any resistance group(die weisse Rose, Kreisauer Kreis, die bekennende Kirche). After the USA had defeated Germany, it was easy to see to it that prominent Nazis and their generals would be hanged.
Summary of Tales of an American Soldier
This is the true tale of a German lawyer and former member of Hitler's army who becomes an American lawyer and is drafted into the U.S. Army. Subjected to interrogations and posted to units where the army can keep him away from anything important, this private pulls a lot of KP, gets sent to a unit consisting of enemy aliens, and assigned to a Quartermaster Laundry Battalion. When it is determined that he is not a spy, he is shipped to Europe with an airborne unit. Eventually the army uses his background to its advantage, promoting him to second lieutenant and sending him to the War Crimes Unit in Germany to read secret files. He encounters Hermann Goering, Albert Speer and other Nazis when is assigned to Justice Jackson's staff for the War Crimes Trials in Nuremberg.General Books
