In the Shadow of the F hrer
A gripping WWII novella of shattered beliefs, survival-and a boy caught in history's deadliest lie.
Berlin, April 1945.
The Third Reich is collapsing. Soviet forces close in. Tasked with relaying commands between the front lines and Hitler's bunker, fifteen year old Hans sees the Reich's final hours unfold: burned-out streets, starving citizens, traitors hanged in public. Every step shakes his faith. Every encounter with truth chips away at everything he's ever believed.
But when Hans is summoned to the F hrer's side for one final message, he must face the man behind the myth and decide where he stands.
Will he die for a lie? Or fight to escape it?
In the Shadow of the F hrer is a haunting short novel of war, indoctrination, and the final cost of blind loyalty. Perfect for readers of The Book Thief, Alone in Berlin, and All the Light We Cannot See.
