Product Description
by Herman John Esfeld (Author), Edna Esfeld (Author)
A true story about a young American boy from Detroit, Michigan, whose engineer father accepts an offer from Dr. Ferdinand Porsche to move to Germany and help build the VW factory in Wolfsburg in 1937. At ten years old, Herman is coerced into the Jungvolk, at fourteen the Hitler Youth, brainwashed, and later drafted into the German army where he fights for his life on the deadly Russian Front during WWII. After the war ends, Herman is handed an apprenticeship at the bombed VW factory. For six frightening years Herman's father's dream is shattered, promises are broken, loyalty plummets, and one miracle is born. When he finally stumbles his way back to States, he is drafted-into the U.S. Army.
