I've alway...Charles, Thank you for your kind words. I've always had a fascination with WWII and although there were certainly enough bad Germans to go around , there were many good Germans. In fact, many of them have even been recognized by the state of Israel. I am going to try very hard to get the Wake County Library system, where I work part time to purchase copies of your book for our collection.<br />Steve BankSteve Bankhttp://spyder1994.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677180.post-75894887468883917142009-05-25T16:19:26.154-04:002009-05-25T16:19:26.154-04:00Thanks, Charles!

I wrote the first draft of the novel in the early 1980s then for various reasons I stopped writing. But I was always reading and reading and reading books on German history, the Third Reich, U-Boats and every book I could find on the German Navy. All the scenes in the novel are based--some loosely---on an actual event which happened. All of the small details in the book are absolutely true. I even went to Berlin specifically to pace off the distance from the Unter Den Linden to the Tiergarten and the location of the flak tower which is where the entrance to the Berlin Zoo now is. Although I have lots of maps of Berlin I wanted to make sure one could run through the Tiergarten quickly and make sure it wasn't as big as central park. It isn't. It's quite small. It's been a labor of love over many years and I am very pleased you enjoyed reading it.<br /><br />Yours respectfully,<br /><br />Charles McCain<br />author of An Honorable GermanCharles McCainhttp://charlesmccain.comnoreply@blogger.com
