With telling detail and self-deprecating humour, Gerd Asche's delightful memoir, Plagues and Placebos, answers the unvoiced questions: What was it like when you were growing up? What did you do in the war? How did you get from there to here? His stories resonate with the Zeitgeist, the spirit of the era. And what turbulent times these have been. Plagues and Placebos, Part I is lived history. From the Treaty of Versailles to 1952. From a defeated Germany to the rise of Hitler. More than a coming-of-age initiation in frightening times, Gerd Asche's teen years include the Hindenburg, Kristallnacht, the Hitler Youth, the reserves, and the call-up to the armed forces. NCO Asche sets up communications links, witnesses atrocities, eavesdrops on the Wolf's Lair, assists Mussolini's mistress. After the war, as a medical student and an interpreter for the post-war occupation forces, he begins to construct a life on his own terms. Yet his is more than a war story of uniforms, weapons, and women. This memoir takes readers behind the headlines, for action-filled tales of local and world events impacting the lives of individuals. Unforgettable character vignettes reveal human nature in all its complexity.
