Engrossing . . . Milton's book celebrates the heroism of individuals who put lives before ideologies - Independent'a remarkable narrative of [Wolfram] Aichele's life during the Nazi regime, written by his son-in-law Giles Milton.' - Irish Times'as a portrait of how these civilised individuals were able to survive, this is invaluable.' - Daily Express'Besides being moving and readable, Milton's social history provides a sympathetic counterbalance to the idea that all wartime Germans were "Hitler's willing executioners".' - Mail on Sunday'a delight to read.' - www.thebookbag.co.uk'Milton's book is no apology for the Third Reich - rather it is the very human, horrifying story of an ordinary German boy and his family of free-thinking artists, none of whom supported Hitler's politics and all of whom suffered great hardships.' - Saga'Giles Milton looks deeper into family history with Wolfram, the story of his father-in-law's childhood under the Third Reich.' - Hobart Mercury'Milton's writing, too, is first-rate. Engaging, poignant and vivid, he wrings just the right amount of pathos from his story, and shifts seamlessly between the varying "voices" of his narrative. . . . a very valid and interesting book' - BBC History Magazine
