In the summer of 1947, two years after the end of World War II, American soldier Ernst Tuchmann was stationed in Korn Westheim, a district of Stuttgart, Germany. The Carlton A. Willard ship transports Rose Tuchmann, who had just wed Ernst Tuchmann, to Germany in anticipation of seeing her husband there. Because Ernst Tuchmann was assigned to Germany, the nation that Rose Tuchmann despised, and which was the home of the Nazis, she was not pleased with the Army. In the meantime, she met Lil McDonald, a younger dependent on the Carlton A. Willard ship, who shared her worries about her husband, marriage, and the trip to Germany. Throughout their time on the Carlton A. Willard ship, Rose comforted Lil, and the two grew close and became friends. What is Germany like after the war is the key question at hand? There in Germany, would she discover Nazis? How would the Germans treat her, and would they do it with kindness? Pick up a copy of And We Never Met A Nazi by Rose Tuchmann and Oscar Bing to learn more.

The thing I loved the most about this book was the lesson I learned: we shouldn't judge people hastily or based our judgment on what we've heard about them; instead, we should give them the chance to prove themselves deserving and avoid falling prey to stereotypes like Rose did when she was on her trip to Germany. Another aspect of this book that I adore is the frequent use of German phrases. Thanks to Rose Tuchmann, I was able to learn a few German words, such as the phrase for goodbye, Auf Wiedersehen, which was used frequently throughout the chapters. I also learned a little bit about the history of World War II, including how the Germans trained more than 100,000 men in Grafenwoehr before the war and how it served as a training facility for the US army and its allies during the Cold War.

There was nothing about this book that I didn't like; I liked the way the author wrote, and I loved every chapter since it gave me a taste of what Rose Tuchmann's experience in Bemberg, Stuttgart, and Nuremberg was like.

I would give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars since I thoroughly loved every chapter and did not find any to be boring. As I read this book, I found a few grammatical errors; hence I would also say that this novel has been professionally edited.

Due to the themes present in the book, which include postwar histories, nonfiction, drama, and a little bit of romance, I would recommend this book to individuals who enjoy reading books with these kinds of themes.

I enjoy reading about world war 2. But I'm this book Ernst Tuchmann is my favorite character because of his commitment in the war. Good job.

[Oyedeji Funmilayo]

I have read a few stories on the German and Nazi war. Thank goodness the war has ended but I believe we must never forget where we are coming from. I look forward to reading the book and learning some German words too. Welldone!!!

[Cynthia Christabel Okolobi]

I have watched alot of documentaries about nazi Germany and honestly I share Rose's opinion. Germany was brutal during colonization and with the namibian and jewish holocaust, I can't just say it is my favourite country

[Temi Book]

It’s my first time hearing about the Nazi and the German war. I’ve only read about the Vietnam war and the Second World War. I’ll love to know about this too. Great review!

[Prince Oyedeji Oyeleke Jayeola]

The German and Nazi war has been on for some time now and I can only imagine the number of people that have died due to this war. I hope Rose survives her predicament and I look forward to read about her.

[Onyeso Njoku]

We should never judge people on a hasty or by things we hear about them, I agree with you. Nice review.

[Opara Jerry]

I've read a few tales about the Nazis, and not a single one of them had anything positive to say about them. However, they were always interesting to learn about, particularly because they marked a turning point in human history. observing the true extent of what we can do to one another as humans. We must never forget what occurred, and this book continues the dialogue.

[Moo Reny]

Your review left me wondering how Germany treated rose, I haven't heard of the German and nazi war and this book will help me In discovering more about the war, and I would like to learn German phrases too.

When we based our judgement of people on what other people told us about them, we might be missing out on their good aide because there is nothing they do that will be good to us.

I also appreciate the use of Language (in this case, German). It always adds colour to a piece. Then there is the setting of the mid 90s. It all sounds like an interesting plot.

[Jane Ogwang]

The book's title is intriguing, and I'm glad you enjoyed its content. Thanks for the glowing recommendation.
