Highly recommended " - Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Possibly the best if all ten books Now that I have cried my way through an entire box of Kleenex as this series came to an end, I just want to read more and more about the wonderful characters that took me all through so many facets of the Second World War as told from a German perspective. This last book may have also been the best, but it is difficult to judge... From a historical perspective, I found myself googling a lot of places and events to learn more about them. Marion Kummerow did a brilliant job in researching this series." - Goodreads Reviewer⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
