Product description
By the United States Army in II. After World War II, an investigation concluded that more than 60% of the information collected on the European battlefield about the enemy was obtained by the army's specially trained interrogators, the so-called It was acquired by the Ritchie boys. Thanks to this information, the Allies often minimized their losses and were able to bomb German positions more effectively.
The Persecuted and Soldiers is about these Ritchie boys: Jews who were born in Germany but had to flee their homes after Hitler came to power. They left Europe as young boys, often alone, leaving their parents and families behind to find a new home in America. But they never forgot what the Nazis did to them, so when the USA entered the war against Germany, they entered the army, where they received special training as interrogators, using their German language and cultural knowledge. In the battles of Normandy, Holland and the Ardennes, on the front line, risking their lives, they were the ones who obtained information from the Germans that saved the lives of Allied soldiers and helped defeat Hitler. Their story has been untold until now, even though as Jews they took enormous risks to confront the Nazis in order to liberate Europe. Bruce Henderson now follows the journey of some of these daring soldiers from their childhood to the liberation of the Nazi death camps, through their training and battles, from persecution to glorious victory.
"We can live through the darkest moments in history with the Ritchie boys... A fascinating account of these exceptional soldiers."
