When Ashes Cried completes the trilogy of an amnesiac German soldier, Friedrich Richard whose story begins in Wolf, when he is sent to Pasewalk Hospital for treatment to restore his lost memory. There, he befriends the patient in the next bed: Adolf Hitler. Friedrich becomes the readers' eyes and ears as Hitler and his inner circle rise to power. In Sins of the Fathers, we witness how Germany spirals into a black hole of terror as it expels its Jews and prepares for war. Friedrich and German military leaders are about to launch a coup d'état when Neville Chamberlain flies to Munich to appease Hitler and derail the coup.
In this third volume, When Ashes Cried, Kristallnacht¬¬¬ is unleashed to force Germany's remaining Jews to leave. At the same time Hitler moves to conquer Europe and Russia, he secretly negotiates with the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees in London to accept Germany's remaining Jews . . . for a price. Through Friedrich, the reader learns of Stalin's efforts to thwart Hitler's adventurism, how the T-4 program has greater implications than euthanizing only the weak, how Hitler creates a false flag to initiate World War II, and how Friedrich's counsel influences the war's outcome . . . for the Allies.
As Ashes . . . unfolds, Friedrich crosses paths with the son he never knew he had, a young SS man that represents everything wrong with Germany. Tensions grow. Horrors occur. German military leaders are desperate to end WWII. Friedrich is sent on a secret mission that puts him in the crosshairs of German spies in neutral Portugal, where he meets famed actor, Leslie Howard. What follows is one of the great mysteries of World War II. The book's dramatic ending will leave the reader breathless.
