Currently reading Gunther Bahnemann's first book, "I deserted Rommel" and it is just as much a rip roaring read but a very different subject matter.

As a multi-lingual guy speaking German, Italian, Pidgin (later) and English (plus who knows what else), his books in English are very well written.

Awarded two Iron Crosses, first class and second class, he was promoted to Lieutenant, later demoted to private and again promoted to corporal. Served in Poland, parachuted into Norway, served in Holland, Belgium and France, and later with the Afrika Korps in Libya and Tunisia, it may seem strange this man deserted. But it is well explained in his book, don't read further as there is a spolier. His father, who served in WW1, was awarded the Iron Cross, First and Second Class, the Pour le Merite, the "Blue Max", other medals including the Silver Wound medal, was murdered in a Nazi Concentration Camp. And so Bahnemann deserted, aiming for a destination where a relative lived a long long way away in Portuguese SW Africa (Angola). Ruthlessly pursuing his desertion ...

Will he make it. Up to page 139 of 256 pages and he has not made it yet, but neither caught either.

A true life story.
