Overview
Experience World War II through the crosshairs of a German sniper. Every grandfather has a tale. Jeorg Frick is an old man now, but in 1937 he was drafted by the German Army. Learn the incredible story of how he was transformed from a ruluctant new soldier into a master sniper. Jeorg fought in dozens of battles in several countries, including Poland, Belgium, The Soviet Union, Crete, Italy, and Germany. After proving himself to be an exceptional sniper, he joined a special team of German paratroopers. This group of expert soldiers was parachuted into Eben Emael, the strongest single fortress in the world! Jeorg's story is one of adventure and survival under extreme circumstances, including the brutal Soviet winter, and the final battle—the Battle of Berlin. Join him as Jeorg recounts his harrowing experiences to his grandson, in hopes that he may learn the lessons of war, and not repeat them.Book Details
