O knihe

I Will Find the Golden River offers the
unique perspective of a young man, Dietz Heller, coming of
age in Germany before and during WWII. Although not a Nazi,
he struggled to make sense of the new Nazi leadership. This
is also the story of two childhood best friends, their vow
not to listen to Nazi propaganda, and their fight for
freedom. Dietz Heller was a German boy growing up in Nazi
Germany in a home without a father present. He volunteered
to go into the army during WWII to fulfill part of the
mandatory time in the army. His family members were not
Nazis. His grandmother was American. They did not expect the
war to last very long because there was not fighting
anymore. Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and
France had already been conquered. Then Hitler made a fatal
mistake and attacked Russia, breaking a non-aggression pact
which Germany hailed after it was signed. Dietz was furious
about the decision but he was sent to Russia as an army
radio operator. He thought that this way he would not have
to kill anyone. The hardships of the war in Russia would
test him physically and mentally.
