1955Signed, without inscription, by author atop front free endpaper. pp. 248. "A compelling indictment of war by a man who knows it as few men do! Sergeant Reinhold Pabel of the 115th Panzer Grenadiers of Hitler's First Army switched lives when he escaped from an Illinois prisoner of war camp in 1945. The man who faced Russian guns in the Ukraine, battled the Americans in Italy and looked out through the barbed wire of a prisoner of war compound in the United States, became, in a remarkably short time, a respected American businessman whose past was unsuspected by his friends, associates or local police. When the FBI finally tracked him down, they found only Philip Brick, quiet proprietor of one of Chicago's North Side bookstores. His is a vivid, eyewitness account of the Russian campaign as seen by a slogging German foot soldier. He was transfered to Sicily and Italy where he was taken prisoner and sent to North Africa, then Camp Grant in Illinois, from which he escaped before being captured in 1953. The wonder of Pabel's story lies in his human touch. Without wild fanatic shouts of protest or of flag waving, he presents and illustrates a concept of vital importance to today's world." - dust jacket.
