Never I Shall Forget These Human People

Roger G. Rank

4.9/5 (34800 ratings)

Description:From September 1944 to February 1946, the Reading Army Air Field outside of Reading, Pennsylvania maintained a camp for German prisoners of war, who served as workers at the air base and on the farms around Berks County. Several of the POWs were assigned to the base Paint Shop, which was managed by a civilian contractor, Roy Rank. Their working relationship was on of mutual respect, which soon developed into close friendships - one friendship lasting a lifetime. After the Germans left Reading, they continued to correspond with Rank over the next several years. Their letters, some very emotional, describe the uncertainty of the former prisoners as to when they would be allowed to go home, but then, the utter destruction they found in their home cities and the difficulty in merely surviving in a war-torn country. However, in every letter they expressed gratitude for the kind treatment they received while in Reading and for the subsequent aid of frequent "care" packages that they received from their friend in America. This book is based on a collection of 84 letters, the majority written from 1946 through 1950 by two former German POWs, Walter Götz and Otto Wilke, to their American friend, Roy Rank. Their personal stories during this tumultuous time are told in the context of the greater political events that defined post-war Germany and the beginnings of the Cold War.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
