Flight of Remembrance: A World War II Memoir of Love and Survival

A 2012 USA Best Book Awards finalist! This true story includes two German veterans and offers a fresh perspective on WWII from the losing side. How did people who did not support Hitler or join the Nazi Party manage under the Nazi regime? What was it like to work on Hitler's secret weapon, the V-2 rocket, in a top secret installation? How did a family live through war waged on home soil on the losing side? How can love, dreams, and faith in God prevent despair and aid survival through adversity? Experience three decades of tumultuous European history in Latvia, occupied Poland, and Germany through the author's parents—Rolf Dutzmann, a Latvian aeronautical engineering student forced to flee to Germany before the first Soviet takeover of the Baltic States, and Lilo Wassull, the young woman he met in 1940 Berlin. Against a worldwide panorama of chaos and destruction, Rolf pursues his technical dream and the woman he loves. Together they visualize a life beyond the cataclysm with the gift of a new beginning and the expansion of Rolf's aeronautical dream to a key role in the U.S. space program.
