Product Description
Product Description
In 1938, all of Germany seems to be captivated by the pied piper from Austria, Adolf Hitler. However, Philip Baron von Feldburg is a young German officer deeply concerned about the direction Germany is going and is distressed by the policies of the Nazi government.
While his younger brother is thrilled to be flying the Luftwaffe's latest fighter, his sister marries a self-made man with good Nazi connections and a bright future. As one Nazi victory follows another, Philip feels increasingly isolated until he meets Alexandra Mollwitz, an attractive secretary working at General Staff headquarters. Philip finds love and a kindred spirit. Through her he meets a group of senior officers working to overthrow the Nazi regime using the Valkyrie Plot.
A work of historical fiction, An Obsolete Honor personalizes a major event in world history. The story demonstrates how immersed the Nazi regime became in both the public and political world and in the personal lives of the German people, who were often forced to make decisions not aligned with their personal beliefs. An Obsolete Honor helps us understand what it was like to live and work in Germany during those tragic times.

A work of historical fiction, but quite believable
7 July 2008
Format:Paperback
There are always dissidents - 100% agreeance in a large group of people is simply not possible. "An Obsolete Honor: A Story of the German Resistance to Hitler" is a work of historical fiction, but is quite believable. A German military offer is not pleased with the rising popularity of Adolf Hitler, disagreeing with the methods and means of the fascist government. Philip Baron von Feldberg is engulfed by the growing power of Nazi Germany from all sides, and his story of confronting harsh reality is a gripping read all the way through. "An Obsolete Honor: A Story of the German Resistance to Hitler" is highly recommended for community library collections seeking historical fiction pieces.
