Publishers Description: Ollie Weiss, the author's name for himself, was born in 1924 in a small town in Germany. When his father dies on the first day of school, Ollie feels deserted in an unfair, harsh world. He joins the Hitler Youth at ten and begins to greet his mother with "Heil Hitler" instead of his usual "Good Morning". When Ollie signs up the infantry, he is willing to die for his beloved Furher. But his years of brainwashing quickly wear off as he reaches the brink of insanity defending a corridor west of Stalingrad. Ollie's god has betrayed him and his world is turned upside down. This text is a true story of survival, moral conflict and heartache.
