I absolutely loved this book. Quite often most books I read in relation to WWII deal with the perspective of those that suffered from the atrocities of the concentration camps; however, it completely blew my mind to have to opportunity to read something from the perspective of the Hitler Youth. I've studied this group in various collegiate courses and from watching different documentaries, but this truly provided me with a insightful experience.

It was not only rewarding to gain a different perspective from those living in Germany at this time, but it was also rewarding to see and understand the power of the human spirit. Our main protagonist taught me that despite the situation or the people involved everyone deserves insight to the truth and only the truly courageous are willing to step up and do what's right to privy everyone with the factual information. I never realized until finishing this book that in situations like those faced by Germany the truth came with a price, a price so grave that so very few were willing to pay. He possessed the courage, faith, and determination that so very few of us encounter.
