Unlikely Warrior

A Jewish Soldier in Hitler's Army

De: Georg Rauch

Narrado por: Robert Fass

An astounding memoir about a Jewish teenager forced to become a German soldier.

As a young adult in wartime Vienna, Georg Rauch helped his mother hide dozens of Jews from the Nazis behind false walls in their top-floor apartment and arrange for their safe transport out of the country. His family was among the few who worked underground to resist Nazi rule. Then came the day he was shipped out to fight on the eastern front as part of the German infantry—in spite of his having confessed his own Jewish ancestry. Thus begins the incredible journey of a young man thrust unwillingly into an unjust war, who must use his smarts, skills, and bare-knuckled determination to stay alive in the trenches, avoid starvation and exposure during the brutal Russian winter, survive more than one Soviet labor camp, and travel hundreds of miles to find his way back home.

Interesting read

I did not know that Jewish men could serve in the German military. How that was possible was never explained. I wished more topics had been addressed. Narrator was very good. Really made the book.

Excellent!

I really enjoyed this very informative memoir of boy of Jewish descent in Hitler’s army. Well written and performed. Left me wondering about his father, but guess that wasn’t really any of my business. Great read.

Very intersting read

This was a well written personal account. What amazing things had to happen for this guy to survive..He had to maintain such a strong will and have his wits to get through everything he endured.
