520 . ‡aDuring World War II the Nazis trained some three hundred thousand German children to fight-- and die-- for Hitler. Munson's father was one of those boy soldiers from the age of nine years. By seventeen he had shot down Allied pilots with antiaircraft artillery; the in the final states of the war he was sent on a suicide mission to the Sudetenland. As Munson retraced his footsteps, she uncovered the lost history of an entire generation brainwashed by the Third Reich, and comes to see her late father as one child forced onto the wrong side of history-- and left to grapple with inherited trauma and the burden of guilt. -- adapted from jacket
