In 1941, WWII raged in its third year. From an aristocratic boys school in Germany, it was an exciting time for seventeen-year-old Claus Sellier and his friends. They lived in the country that, by all indications, was winning the war. Newspaper headlines told of the latest victories, and pictured a proud Adolf Hitler pinning medals on war heroes. Sellier and his classmates didn't see this as propaganda--they swelled with pride.
When draft cards arrived, the boys enthusiastically joined. The reality of war, however, would nearly devastate Sellier. He was thrown into punishing and life-threatening situations during some of the most extreme battles in Eastern Europe. With terrible weather, the constant threat of starvation, and inferior equipment, the odds were against him. Yet somehow, through the harsh conditions and brutality that he would experience, Sellier would find himself a hero in a losing battle.
