Product Description

Synopsis
Untergegangene Reiche Deren goldbeladene Throne. In Nacht und Sage zerstoben Haben nie so wilde Tanze gekannt. Hermann Hesse Sixty years and more have passed since the harrowing events described in the first part of this story. It is a story of dislocation, upheaval, political zeal, population movements, invasion, warfare and plunder. It is a story of harsh imprisonment, transportation and back-breaking labour in the cotton fields of Arkansas, exchanged for the grey skies of East Anglia and belated repatriation to a battered and divided Fatherland. Surely there is time now to redress the balance a little, to see that there were grievances, heroism and atrocities on both sides; to see that a Germany twice split apart in thirty years was bound to be ill at ease with itself, and with its neighbours. The author, a paratrooper serving as a runner with Battle Group Gericke near Anzio in 1944, was awarded the Iron Cross while still a teenager, He was proud, he was following a family tradition, and he was a survivor. Now an educationalist in England, with two books on the Froebel System to his credit, Joachim Liebschner recalls in vivid terms the physical as well as the intellectual side of his life, and asks some painful questions of his host nation: Who was really to blame for starting World War Two? And does anything justify the bombing of civilians? Let us read, lest we forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compelling personal story & a fascinating perspective on World War II, 17 Aug 2007
By Mark Norris (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An absorbing and highly thought provoking true story of a nice, ordinary German boy ... who greatly enjoys his time in the Hitler Youth ( just like the Boy Scouts ) and enthusiastically signs up to fight for his beloved Fatherland. After his eventual capture by Allied forces in Italy in 1944 he becomes a Prisoner of War: first with the Americans, picking cotton in Arkansas, and then in Britain until 1947 ( yes 1947 ) when he is allowed to return home to his family in a devastated post-war Germany ... but then returns again in 1950 to marry his English sweetheart and settle permanently in the UK.

A most fascinating perspective on World War II from `the other side' which should perhaps be made compulsory reading for all British youngsters studying the war.

A very personal tale of family and friends ... loyalty and bravery ... the appalling horrors of war ... remarkable luck and survival ... and the importance of simple kindness and compassion to all men ... not to mention the importance of having a cigarette when you really need one.

I am now going to order a copy of his book `A Child's Work' about his alternative ideas in children's education based on Froebel's philosophy ... another interesting sounding aspect to this author's remarkable life.

4.0 out of 5 stars A different angle on World War Two, 16 Dec 2006
By N. Mowll (Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great read. A remarkable true story of a highly capable and brave young man caught up in the termoil of World War 2 and its aftermath. Difficult to put down.
