Max had enjoyed the camaraderie in the Hitler Youth organisation. His week at the Berlin Olympics was a life-time highlight. He saw the Führer and fell in love with Inge. He loved the Third Reich. <br/>Russia was where it started going wrong. He knew primal fear as the ruthless Red Army attacked in countless numbers. <br/>He was repulsed at the order to march innocent Jews to the SS awaiting in the forest. What would a refusal mean? The reality was unspoken but understood; there was no escape.<br/>Posted to Berlin, Max knew that each successive air raid edged him closer to death. The nightly terror was tempered by wonderful days spent with Inge. <br/>Until her nurses' barracks were struck by a bomb.<br/>If he searched for her, his desertion meant death. The German army was being over-run. Max, a sadder and a wiser man, had come little by little to understand the cause for which he had pledged his life; he also knew that cause was lost.<br/>But how could he survive? How could he find Inge?<br/>An impelling and rare exposé of Nazi Germany. Based on the true story of a recruit to the Hitler Youth.
