Based on a firsthand account. Imagine fighting for an ideal you cannot fathom. Imagine searching for a flicker of patriotism before a wave of blood. Imagine nausea at the idea of your brother as a target. Imagine curtains opening to reveal calculated extermination. Towards the end of World War II, Hitler was desperate. He pulled in young and old to fight a losing war. Sixteen year old Karl's experiences and his journey from then to modern day, through the eyes of his daughter, are described here. Rarely are all sides of war shared: generally there are good and bad sides, but the reality is that there are many shades to war.
