Sample Book Insights:
#1 In 1945, the American heavy bombers came to German city of Straubing and destroyed a third of the city. The Americans then handed out food stamps to the German citizens, who were mostly silent.
#2 As Franz walked down the street, he saw people standing in line to get work. The brickyard was farther down the street, and the veteran he had seen every day for the past year was there, footless, waiting for work.
#3 Franz was not too proud to take handouts from the victors.
Handouts meant eight hundred calories of food a day and survival. When Franz was a pilot, he had been well fed. But after the war, Franz had forgotten the feeling of being full.
#4 After the war, Franz was released by the Americans because of his clean record. He wanted to work, but the Americans had no use for him because he had not been a member of the Nazi Party. The Americans instead labeled him a Nazi, which caused him to be harassed by other workers.
