Details
Here is the astonishing true story the harrowing experiences of a young German seminarian drafted into Hitler's dreaded SS at the onset of World War II. Without betraying his Christian ideals, against all odds, and in the face of Evil, Gereon Goldmann was able to complete his priestly training, be ordained, and secretly minister to German Catholic soldiers and innocent civilians caught up in the horrors of war. How it all came to pass is astounding.
Father Goldmann tells of his incredible experiences of the trial of war, his many escapes from almost certain death, and the diabolical persecution that he and his fellow Catholic soldiers encountered on account of their faith. What ergs is an extraordinary witness to the workings of Divine Providence and the underlying power of love, prayer, faith, and sacrifice.
