“…intriguing and fascinating young adult adventure…” —Readers’ Favorite
In March 1945, Hitler’s desperate final command sent all 15- and 16-year-old boys to defend the Fatherland. Best friends Günter and Helmut refused. They knew one thing: if caught, they would be executed.
For 47 harrowing days, the boys became fugitives, hiding, running, and fighting to stay alive in a collapsing Germany. Based on true events, 47 Days is a gripping novelette of courage, defiance, and survival, adapted from the award-winning biographical novel Surviving the Fatherland.
Surviving the Fatherland follows the incredible true stories of Günter and Lilly as they navigate the terror-filled reality of Nazi Germany. Anchored in historical fact, it is a testament to the resilience of war children and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
