life welllived recalled

A “Minutes” episode acquainted me with “the Ritchie Boys,” Jewish German immigrants who chose to serve their new country in fighting their birth homeland during WWII.
Werner Angress was one of them, and after reading a more general history of these remarkable patriots, I decided to read his book, too.

This book is interesting, but frankly, it is more of a personal memoir dealing with his whole life than a continuation of the Ritchie Boys saga.

For his family members it would be amazing history to cherish, but much of it is personal history having little to do with life under the Nazis, his escape or his heroic service.

Still, it offers glimpses of what went haywire in Germany, and therefore is well worth reading, even for nonfamily members.

Werner T. Angress parachuted down from a Cinto Germanoccupied France with thend Airborne Division, Nine days later, he was captured behind enemy lines and, concealing his identity as a Germanborn Jew, became a prisoner of war.
Eventually, he was freed by US forces, rejoined the fight, crossed Europe as a battlefield interrogator, and participated in the liberation of a concentration camp.
Although he was an American soldier, less than ten years before he had been an enthusiastically patriotic GermanJewish boy.
Rejected and threatened by the Nazi regime, the Angress family fled to Amsterdam to escape persecution and death, and young Angress then found his way to the United States.
In Witness to the Storm, Angress weaves the spellbinding story of his life, including his escape from Germany, his new life in the United States, and his experiences in World War II.
A testament to the power of perseverance and forgiveness, Witness to the Storm is the compelling tale of one man's struggle to rescue the country that had betrayed him.
