Gerhard and his brother visited Dan Rendleman, an amateur historian and Vietnam veteran. Dan enjoyed Gerhard’s book and had this to say about it:

This book was a great read for a history buff like me. I couldn’t put the book down. What the Maroscher family went through in the after math of war-torn Europe is heartbreaking and amazing. Every American should read this book. It is a true American success story. It’s a great history lesson and I highly recommend it.

-Dan Rendleman

Dan has studied the German military extensively, and over the years has collected actual uniforms that were worn by German soldiers.
