Totally Random Non-Fiction Tuesday
More than once while reading this book the thought, ‘Third Amendment’ kept running through my brain (that’s the one that says that, ‘No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.’
It’s mostly about Fey von Hassell. Although, her father and her husband play a big role because while they go and choose to fight against the Nazis, that leads the SS to scrutinize the entire family, and for them to even move into Fey’s castle (where she and her two sons live). And then she and her sons get more than just watched, they get taken in by the SS.
I’d never heard of this story specifically, but, it was intense. And showed the pros and cons of resistance in a way I’d never quite really read before.
