Der Apfelgarten. Großdruck. Erinnerungen einer Glücklichen. 1 review
Adele Crockett Robertson
Rowohlt Tb., 2003
See the Amazon.de reviews
I don't read German well, but for those who do there are 10 reviews on the Amazon site in German, amazon.de, which you find with a search term of Der Apfelgarten. There are 7 five-starred and 3 four-starred. It pleases me very much that my mother's memoir is available in Germany. (It was also translated into Italian and Chinese but I know nothing about those editions.)

Bomben auf Rostock: Krieg und Kriegsende in Berichten, Dokumenten, Erinnerungen und Fotos, 1940-19451 review
K. Reich, 1995
A Town at War
If you read German, you must buy this book. As a native of the city of Rostock, major Seaport on the Baltic Sea, and having lived there through World War II, I recommend this authentic report. This is not a novel, but a well researched, well documented account of a city at war. It tells of the suffering the population endured in the bomb raids, the destruction of their town, it shows the ...

Zehn Jahre und zwanzig Tage. Erinnerungen 1935-1945.1 review
Karl Dönitz
Monch (Bernard & Graefe Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, 1997
An Excellent Account of Hitler's successor.
Ten Years and Twenty Days is a direct reference to the time Karl Doenitz spent in Spandau Jail having been convicted of War Crimes.
As an English boy growing up in a post-war Britain (I was born in 1950), we would play games where the Germans always lost - just like the Cowboys always won and the Indians always lost. Much later in life, I began to research various ships and shipwrecks through ...

"Furchtbar einfach, wird gemacht!": Erinnerungen1 review
Sibylle Niemoeller-von Sell
Ullstein, 1992
Hitler era comes alive
I read this book many years ago and was searching for it in English so I could give it to others to read. It is an eye opening and moving account of one family during the Hitler era in Germany. Sybylle Niemoeller-von Sell's family was part of the German Aristocracy that was slowly pushed out by the Nazi leaders. Her memories of this time are vivid and reveal much about the difficulties of the war ...

Die Farbe von Wasser. Erinnerungen 584 reviews
James McBride
Droemer Knaur, 2001
One of the most beautiful books I have ever read
This book was recommended to me by a friend who also happens to be an English professor. I won't go into the story line as others have done so here already. Suffice it to say that it is a beautifully crafted book about love and the human spirit. Don't miss it!

Erinnerungen einer Überflüssigen. Madam Bäurin. Rumplhanni.1 review
Lena Christ
List, 2002
Bestimmt nicht überflüssig!
Dieses Buch fesselt einen von der ersten Seite an. Die Autorin, Lena Christ, hatte das seltene Talent, mit wenigen Strichen eine ganze Welt zu zeichnen, intensiv und detailfreudig. Die Kindheit bei den Großeltern im oberbayrischen Glonn, das harte Leben als Wirtstochter in der Münchner Vorstadt, die Bigotterie der Klosterschule oder die Schrecken ihrer Ehe mit einem Alkoholiker, alles verdichtet ...

Crash go the chariots!: An alternative to "Chariots of the Gods", 2 reviews
Clifford A Wilson
Word of Truth Productions, 1972
The truth about Erich von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods?"
Clifford A. Wilson book gives an expose of Erich von Daniken's unscientific and also poor understanding of what Bible texts he used. It is too bad this little book is out of print. I'm keeping my copy.

Chariots Still Crash1 review
Clifford Wilson
Signet, 1976
Debunking Erich Von Daniken
More dubunking of Erich Von Daniken's hypothesis in his Chariots of the Gods. The whole controversy pro and con is probably best filed under science fiction.
