View the aging war through the eyes of an educated family man, caught up in the flood of human sacrifice that was World War II. Framed by his love for his wife, family, and his country, the movements and political workings of the war flow from his pen in artistic strokes. Claudius's often poetic letters, preserved by his loving wife for decades and handed down to his daughter Erika, unlock a wealth of information about life as a Wehrmacht soldier and the training and movements of German troops. Here the language barrier, often written in old German script, has been lifted, and the commonality of human suffering during war has been laid bare. Paul Claudius and his family represent all families and all soldiers in time of conflict."--Page 4 of cover 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Claudius, Paul |vCorrespondence. 650 0 Soldiers |zGermany |vCorrespondence. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vPersonal narratives, German. 610 10 Germany. |bWehrmacht |vBiography. 655 7 Personal narratives. |2lcgft 655 7 Letters (correspondence) |2aat 655 7 Personal correspondence. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Meister, Jack R. 700 1 Wolfe, Erika, |d1936- 852 0 |bscstacks |hD811.C53 |iA4 2009
