Glück Allein Genügt Nicht

As a teenager in Nazi-Germany I was forced to speak “Politically Correct” to keep my ass out of a concentration camp.

I was drafted when I was 17 years old and spent three years at the northen Russian front as a Luftwaffen communications specialist.

At the end of the war I was still in the Soviet Union in the Courland pocket in Latvia. It took me 175 days to get back to my hometown Berlin. I had lost my family, my home, all my belongings as well as my country.

Paul war ein Einzelgaenger, dessen knappe Lebensphilosophie die er in einem einzigen Satz zusammenfasste: "Nur tote Fische schwimmen mit dem Strom."

Dieses Buch gibt keine detaillierten Ausfuehrungen ueber Deutschlands Weg von der Weimarer Republik ueber das "1000 jaehrige Reich" zum Zusammenbruch Deutschlands und der Nachkriegszeit, aber es zeigt, wie es einem Menschen gelang diese negativen Ereignisse zu ueberleben, um in Amerika ein besseres Leben zu beginnen.

In 1961, I immigrated from Canada to
Santa Barbara, California

The defense companies needed me because of my years of experience in optics and electronics.
