Flying a flag for Hitler : my childhood in Nazi Germany

The story of a child growing up in the shadow of war.

A story of separation, uncertainty, fear and hope. This moving audio version is read by the author (introduction) and Jane Collingwood.

Elsbeth was only five years old when World War II broke out, but she soon began to understand how the war would affect her: coping with food shortages, moving from house to house to avoid the air raids and having to get used to the pain of a missing father.

Alongside these dramatic events she tells of ordinary family life: celebrations; going shopping (being forced to give the Nazi salute to shopkeepers) and school days.

A fascinating autobiographical account coupled with unique photographs taken by Elsbeth's father at the front, make Flying a Flag for Hitler an inimitable insight into life in Nazi Germany.

Some of the photographs are included in the CD insert, together with a timeline of key dates during the Nazi regime in Germany.
