Synopsis

Coauthor Erich Friedrich won the Iron Cross fighting the Soviets. But when he refused to give the Nazi salute and criticized Hermann Goring, he was charged with subversion and thrown into a cell. With him were a suspected spy, two accused deserters, a Jehovah's Witness, a draft dodger, and a leftist. To try to push back the terror of the unknown, each man took a turn telling why he was awaiting torture and possibly death. Friedrich vowed to remember their remarkable stories forever.

Wise, Jr., coauthor of Shooting the War: Memoirs of a World War II U-Boat Officer - In it speak the voices of Germans not often heard abroad. It offers its readers a fresh perspective on the impact of repression, violence, and war on Hitler's other victims - the Germans forced to fight his war. - Edwina S. Campbell, author of Germany's Past and Europe's Future
