Posted: 25 Dec 2022, 05:06
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "And We Never Met A Nazi" by Rose Tuchmann, Oscar Bing.]
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.
